Loire is a land of beautiful Chateaux where the wealthy, the aristocratic and the royalty retreated from Paris summers and entertained, very elegant, very raised pinky finger.  The wines are much like this, ethereal and sophisticated.  The Loire is a long river, the longest in France, and its shores are crowded with vineyards along much of its length.  Soil, exposition and grape varietals change as one moves up river; a panorama of vinous discovery.
