A good crowd gathering around 4pm
When I arrived around 1.45pm it was quite quiet and easy to move from stand to stand tasting. Fortuntely the showers mainly stayed away apart from a few insignificant drops of rain. By 3.30pm, however, the alley was starting to fill up and by 5pm had become quite a crush. The weather was good for tasting not too hot or cold.
By 5pm definitely quite a crowd
Tasting makes you hungry – ham on the bone, andouillette etc.

Merci beaucoup pour vos articles, plus rapide et plus complet que vous, impossible à faire. Vous serez toujours le bienvenu à Bourgueil. Bien cordialement Boucard Philippe
Merci à vous Philippe et les vignerons de Bourgueil pour leurs acceuils. Je pense que tous les gens qui vont au Bordeaux pour la semaine de primeurs ont plus sages si ils sont venu à Tours aujourd'hui pour goûter les 2009 rouges de Bourgueil.
Mmmm. Bourgueil. Mmmm. Andouilette.
JT: Agree about Bourgueil.
