On Saturday night along with Dennis and Angela we headed over to the village of Beaumont to 'Domaine La Tour Beaumont' for a unique event to celebrate the launch of their new sparkling vintage: Le Fié Gris Méthode Traditionnelle Brut.
There was an excellent turnout with our hosts providing plenty of nibbles and lots of fizz, obviously.
They had also laid on 3 different musical acts throughout the day with the evening entertainment provided by 'Prokop' a folksinger who lives in Strasbourg but who I have since discovered is originally from Hull! He is a great believer in keeping old folk songs alive and is a lover of people like Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly whose songs he has covered.
It was an interesting evening among the vats and their new vintage was very palatable but Pauline and I had only just restocked our sparkling wines at our favourite cave, Aubert in Vouvray. Dennis & Angela bought some to help celebrate the festive period with their family and we bought some of their red wines that we like.
