I live in Montana (in a log home in the middle of nowhere, powered mostly by solar & wind).
My husband & I travel to France several times a year to guide tours I've set up in the Bordeaux region & the Dordogne Valley (prehistoric caves, medieval castles, etc...). Great chance to eat, drink wine, eat, drink wine..

When at home I like to garden, hike, ski, and curl up with a good book (and a glass of wine, of course).

Mostly reds - Bordeaux, Burgundy,Cotes de Rhone, Chateau Neuf du Pape, Cahors, as well as Italians & peppery South American wines.
In Summer, a Bandol wine from the south of France or a Brouilly lightly chilled hits the spot.
Smith Haut Lafite's white Pessac-Leognan is delicious too, but out of my price range.
