Not sure what the plan is, but I am sure that we will have something good with it. The Champagne and Port are ready to go, but the red and white not yet chosen!Jonathan Lethbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791327377479687655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-76083703106001161102021-12-14T15:48:55.602+00:002021-12-14T15:48:55.602+00:00A well-timed trip ahead of La Vague d'Omicron....A well-timed trip ahead of La Vague d'Omicron....<br />Are you having Roast Turkey at Christmas and, if so, are some of your Burgundies accompanying it?<br />MattMeropeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517158691476228097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-40479459725368062052021-11-30T06:40:03.123+00:002021-11-30T06:40:03.123+00:00Yes, behind the horse is a simple plough, and beyo...Yes, behind the horse is a simple plough, and beyond that is a man ensuring it stays in the ground and that they don't deviate catastrophically. At the end of each row the horse stops and eats some grass, the man cleans the blade of the plough, and then they turn around and go up the next one. About every fifth row the man also has a fag, this is France after all.<br /><br />Glad you read the post and found out a few things that maybe you didn't know. I discovered loads during my visit and I thought I knew a lot! But pointless fluff, come on!!?Jonathan Lethbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791327377479687655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-19997620769381913342021-11-30T01:02:58.219+00:002021-11-30T01:02:58.219+00:00Y'know, I follow your blog because you talk bi...Y'know, I follow your blog because you talk birds (see above: Chaffinch), you have a deep sense of humour, you write superbly and overall you come across as an intelligent person. Who else could entice me into reading a long post about wine production in France? Nobody, that's who. And yet I found this a surprisingly (for me) interesting read and I even learned 'stuff'. Cool beans buddy, much appreciated (though I will arm-wrestle you to the death over there being such a thing as a "top quality pinot noir", pointless fluff of a wine that it is...) I have a question though, what's with the draft horse? Is it actually ploughing?<br /><br />Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.com
