First Wines 2012

Celebrating first wine production of the season.

The Bottle

Managed to bewilder Maison Dix guests with my bottle ‘installation’ this week.

Why?' was the most common question (read ... 'haven't you got anything better to do?').

(However Puds seemed to have an appreciation...)

Jazz a Sete 2013

Superb artists + Unmatched venue = Nights to remember...

Nile Rodgers and Chic.

Forget the O2. This is genuine CLOSE-UP!!

Jamie Cullum - (literally 'on piano!')

Faugères Wine Festival

The Commanderie (fancy hats and fine gowns) opened up this year’s festivities as usual.

  After much sampling it really was no contest.

Selected Simon’s (Domain des Trinites) excellent rose.

Living Like God in France

Homps, Canal Du Midi.

Excellent local band.

Cold glass of rose. Of course!

The Tour 2013

Simon Coulshaw (of Trinites.com fame) and I managed about 70 of the 200+ km stage (Montpelier to Albi) yesterday. No photos. Not pretty.

The Tour passed us at a very convenient 13.00 today, enabling us to manage a couple of glasses as they sweated past at high speed. 

Puds phoned in sick this morning ...

Puds phoned in sick this morning. One too many at the weekend...
