dinner at le moulin brégeon.09/23/11

I’m currently in the Loire Valley, living and working in a chateau with a hilarious/amazing group of people; artists, chefs, winemakers, Frenchies, Austrailians, Charlestonians. Basically, I never want to leave.

I put this little video together about our late night dinners filled with incredible food & wine, incessant giggling, and lots of crazy cat talk.
