Progress??

Quelle horreur - the screwtop has arrived on French wines! This is the first time I've seen a screwtop on the lovely local white wine, Picpoul de Pinet. No doubt it's the start of things to come. 

The vendange has been very late this year due to the cool spring and later start to summer. Picking is still happening now so the tractor traffic-jams aren't over yet. We wait to see what the verdict is on the quality of this year's wine.
