Please recommend: 1 or 2 star michelin restaurant in Lyon

While you are there, feel the label!

(It will make sense when you do!)

That's cool, isn't it? I've not seen any other winemakers that do that.

Just so happens we had a bottle of Chapoutier St. Joseph's 'Deschants' just last night!

I'm not sure if it's got a star yet, but I can highly recommend Les Adrets in the old city. The food is superb, it's fairly casual and it's got a great wine list. When we dined there in '01, we got a bottle of the '98 Graillot Crozes-Hermitage off the list. My lapereau brochette was awesome and the French couple next to us wanted to know how we'd found our way there (a friend in Lyon told us).

Jaboulet and Chapoutier are OK to visit (somewhat like a CA tasting room), but if you can speak any French, I'd try making an appointment with some smaller vignerons. Chave might be hard to see, but most others will meet you if you arrange your visit in advance. Those visits are far more interesting to me.

It has one fork (casual) and good value menu listing by Michelin

the Cave Cooperative is also fairly big modern and unlike any vinyard I have been to in France, this is not the place that you see locals pulling up to fill plastic jugs from what looks like gasoline dispensers, but they have a large tasting menu.

I wish I could remember the name of the wine store in Tournon that I stopped at very good selection of local wines and staff that knew each one well (IF you go tho the train monumentthere will be a row of shops facingthe waterfront, it is in that row and has a cavey kind of look to it.

Helps if you're blind drunk at the time.

Heh... I saw (and felt) the first braille label years ago.
