Had you seen me walking home from the 8:25 Cahors-Figeac bus around 9:30 on yesterday morning, you'd have noticed that I'd humped my backpack for my visit with Pat and Graeme. Since I was sleeping over so we didn't have to rush back from our adventures so I could catch the bus home...I needed to bring a few more things with me than usual. Little did I know that there was another reason...Cahors Wine!
After a wonderful lunch in the heart of Cahors wine vinyard country, we headed to Clos la Coutale for wine tasting and a special corkscrew that was on Graeme's list.
The lush aroma and the smoothness of their Cahors grabbed me immediately. I thought about the difficulty of getting it home on the bus, but didn't really hesitate too much.
The fun part was problem-solving with Pat and Graeme on Friday morning about the best way to carry it for the ride on the bus and the walk home...We ended up collapsing the box, putting four of the bottles in a wine bag and wrapping other stuff around it. The last two bottles got pj wrapped and I was good to go.
Funny...six bottles of Clos la Coutale was much lighter than my backpack usually is when I'm traveling to and from here!
You know what that means...even more wine next time.
Happy Saturday!
...and, a very special thanks to Pat and Graeme for even MORE special times together. More about all of this very special day sometime soon!
