After an aborted date at the end of July due to the continuous rain, the Anniversary Fair went ahead on a fantastically hot Saturday 15th September in the afternoon. Our tent overlooked the Midford valley which must be one of the most beautiful countrysides around.
This was a great opportunity for us to introduce ourselves to a lot of new people. We acted more as a bar than a tutored tasting, but it was a successful day nevertheless.
One of the organised events was quite special: Two donkeys, owned by some neighbours, were put in a fenced off area which had been marked in a grid system with white paint. Each square had its own reference, A2, C4 etc. The idea was that one had to guess which square one of the donkeys did his/her business in. You've got to agree that you don't get the opportunity of taking part in this kind of skilled game very often.
Anyway, happily with hindsight, we missed the result!
We finished the day with a few good orders. Our Menetou-Salon from Pierre Jacolin as did the Beaujolais-Villages from Domaine de Gry-Sablon were particularly popular.
Many thanks to Megan Witty for asking us to the event.
Cheers
