Vignobles Jean-Francois Carrille, Chateau Cardinal Villemaurine





Jean-Francois Carrille runs a small vineyard in St. Emilion. When we stopped by, he was very busy directing the grape harvest, yet he happily found the time to give us a tour of the fields, the cellar, and the fermentation area. The cellar is centuries old, part of a cave/quarry from which the town of St. Emilion was built. Jean-Francois's wines are excellent. He's proud of his work and the region, but humble when it comes to himself. We really liked him... he is one of those people that you wish you could get to know over the years, preferably over many glasses of wine. If you are ever in St. Emilion, stop by this winery. You can buy wines going back to the 1960s, lovingly maintained in his cellar.

Kelli has two ears too!
Dinosaur tracks in Portugal
The prints on the shelf of Lower Cretaceous rock are those of a herbivorous biped also known as an Ornithopod. This was a three-toed (tridactyl) creature, and it is the rounded shape of these toes, with no claw marks, that implies it only ate vegetation.
