Hello!
 |
| Hard at work. |
A beautiful start to last week, we saw the most amazing
sunrise as we headed off to pick grapes at Chateau Claribes. The harvest went well and juice the
handpicked red grapes are sitting in the tank as I write this. We had a most enjoyable day, not least due to
the fabulous lunch time feast we were rewarded with.
If you are looking for people to help with a grape harvest,
or want to take part in one, please get in touch as I am collecting contacts to
link together.
Plenty going on in and around the Gironde and Dordogne area
next weekend – you’ll be spoilt for things to do.

| Here's to a good vintage! |
Have a good week,
Best wishes
