Week 41 2016

Hello!

Hand picked (by me!)

You don't have to travel far on the roads this week before you meet a tractor with a trailer or some kind of grape harvesting machinery.  The wine harvest is in full swing and we had a great time at Claribes last week helping to hand pick the 2016 Rose.  Rumour has it that 2016 will be a phenomenal vintage throughout the region!

Best of all though, is this road sign, seen around the Duras region... do they have that much juice they can afford to spill some?

Coming up this weekend is one of my favourite brocantes.  Maybe see you in Rauzan?

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time and enjoy the sunny days.

Best wishes,
Helen
