Was this François Hollande@Montlouis on Monday?
"Will Greece leave the euro before the end of the picnic?"
On
Monday we went to another of the Pique-Niques chez le Vigneron Indépendant. This time with
Isabelle and Aynard Clermont-Tonnerre in the vineyards of Montlouis above
Saint-Martin-le-Beau overlooking the Cher Valley. We were joined by a Monsieur
who bore a considerable resemblance to François Hollande but who probably
wasn't as there were no accompanying bodyguards and Aynard and Isabelle had been very
relaxed about setting up the picnic. Anyway a potentially profitable new career as a Hollande impersonator may beckon!
We drank the 2011 Touraine Sauvignon (screwcapped) from the Clos du Porteau, the Chenin Blanc and a 2011 blend of Cabernet Côt and Gamay.
