Apero Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Third Thursday of November.Our village goes all out for the celebreations of the new vin. One of the many, many, reasons we have a maison secondaire in this region, I have limited time at our French home, and visit when work allows, my wife is here for many months, we have great friends who help her, and when BN arrives I also arrive, my beautiful wife experiences more than I; therefore what domaine is your preferance?

Miki Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 To be honest, it is the tradition that always wins the day. The wine has never really done anything for me but, it is good reasonto go out on that Thursday night. We shall be somewhere, drinking one,perhaps two glasses of BN and then drinking something slightly morepalateable for the rest of the night [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 You never know, it might be a good year, like it was about three years back. The locals will be sure to keep some decent stuff for themselves anyway. I quite agree about the tradition though, and the excuse to go out for a glass or two. Just a pity I will probably miss it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llwyncelyn Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I think the limitation factor of one or two glasses then on to something else is a very good one. The very worse hangover I have ever had was with BN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'd be more than happy to stick within the region but one or two of the BN would be enough for me then as my name would indicateI'd move on to the St Amour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 You never know if it's going to be banana or strawberry flavour - but you can guarantee that the hangover is going to be the same every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apero Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 [quote user="TWINKLE"] banana or strawberry flavour [/quote]Hmm perhaps not this year. Glad I took time off to enjoyed the event, and the company of our neighbours for a meal in the evening at 'Chez Apero' What a magnificent day we had. Abientot.

TWINKLE Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It'll be flowing to-night in our village I shall be singing for the event so I will not be drinking. Don't mind 'cos' I really don't like the stuff. It's more of a 'vin primeur' de Gaillac tradition in these parts - Le Payssel and Labarthe being the top favourites.Is your head hurting this morning Apero?[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I cannot believe how dim I am. Twinkle told me it was Beauj. night 3rd thurs of Nov in her local PMU. I did not realise it was a national thing, I honestly thought that it was just a case of the landlord buying a couple of boxes at shoppi to share with the boys because.... well he is a nice man.Well Twinks, you can share that one with Jean Marc when you are on the mic this evening.

Apero Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 [quote user="TWINKLE"] Is your head hurting this morning Apero?[:)][/quote]Apologies for the late reply Twinks, may I call you that? No my head was not 'hurting' went down a treat. Had plenty of water to drink before, during and after. The flight the next morning was a bit of a 'head hurting' experience though. Knee deep in ankle biters (children). Don't misunderstand me I love children, got a few of my own, parential control is obvioulsy a little know phenomenon to certain parents visiting Parc Disney.Enjoyed a Sancerre tonight, mmm lovely.Regards Apero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
