A fine sunny day and the chance of a trip away from the village with Jean-Jacques and Michelle provided some welcome relief. When I add that it included a good lunch, wine tasting and a purchase with a discount, you can imagine the pleasure it brought. To put you in the picture, Jean-Jacques' sister and brother-in-law have a vinyard not too far from Pézanas and this day the mobile bottling team came to do the bizz. It was interesting to get our own personal tour of all the different aspects and see some of the 30,000 bottles being filled at a rate of 2,200 bottles/hour. As well as the wine, in the summer they organise evenings of music, dance and food for large groups and next month they'll have their two gîtes open for business.
The day didn't end there. There was just time when we came home to grab a bit of bread and cheese before heading off to see "No Country for Old Men" with Michel and Joëlle. Yet more blood and gore. I was about to say that I hope to see "The Boleyn Sisters" by way of something lighter but come to think of it that all ends in tears too.
