The usual language exchange followed by the bar this morning and the local wine bar this evening. James, a New Zealander, married to an American who has a holiday home here was in action at the local wine bar. He uses a knife rather than a brush and it was fascinating to watch him work. What was just as fascinating was watching the young chef on his break watching James. As well as James there was a wine to sample, tapas to eat and discussion with Juste, Joséphine, Gaby and Robert. The young wine maker was passionate about his work and we decided that the association should organise a visit to the vineyard at the time of the grape harvest. Ended the evening with a nightcap at Juste and Joséphine's and another discussion about national and local politics with Christian having to take some stick from Joséphine about the poor upkeep of the grass verges.
