The Vieux Cépages is part of Trilla's 4th edition of its annual fête.

Michel. It would be great to be there but sadly impossible. Will have to see what can be done for the second edition! Hope Saturday goes well!

I just noticed how much André Dominé looks like the American wine writer/critic Dan Berger.
