I started with some pretty dodgy-tasting gamay - I couldn't tell if it was corked, or just really bad. The music was no better - a Black Eyed Peas CD, and it wasn't even the good one!

The tomato sauce was sour, and the loads of bell peppers soaked the pizza as they cooked and released their juices, soggifying the thin crust (didn't think I could use soggify twice in the same blog, did you?) The flavour of the pizza was good, and the herb-infused olive oil I drizzled on top seemed to improve things further, but unfortunately, the pizza was a mess.

My other thought for a light meal was the crepe place on the plaza at the foot of the chateau, but I didn't feel like having crepes once more after having them just the other night, and I did have a craving for pizza.
