At Castel de Brames yesterday evening
the heart of L’Occitane
buying wines made from some of the oldest vines in France, (mostly) for gifts.
The Queen’s Wine; “du vignoble de Gaillac”, at Domaine de la Chanade.
A chance invitation, a new friend and the Queen’s wine.
A chance encounter in Intermarche, Gaillac, the first day I arrived here in the Tarn, well actually one of 4, the other 3 were all people who remembered me, touched my heart, pleased to see I’d returned.
The chateau, besides fine wines and beautiful gardens for you to enjoy, has a light airy exhibition space.

Later, several other domain owners during the … Read more
