We picked for between an hour and half – two hours and weren't sorry when we stopped as sustained grape picking is pretty back breaking. We did get a good bonus – a picnic lunch in the vineyard largely prepared by Odette Mabileau, Frédéric's mother. At least three trailer loads were picked today with the grapes coming in at 14%.
The second and final tri will be done in about ten days time depending upon the weather.

Jim, marvellous pics. Wish I was there helping out. Yes sir!
Snowing here today!
Oh, opened my `83 Mas Amiel Reserve. You would have been impressed.
Bob from Alberta.
Thanks Bob. Interesting place Mas Amiel as well as their wines.
I see that Mabileau has some wines stocked at MacArthurs in Washington DC.
