Reims Wine Festival

Written by on November 13, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Once again the wonderful annual Wine Festival has arrived in Reims, and we didn’t miss this chance to go take a look and meet some new people.  Every year, this wine festival gets bigger and bigger with more and more exhibitors and wine enthusiasts.  And it’s not surprising when you see the range on offer and the incredible prices. Over 300 winemakers from all over France gather in Reims on the second weekend of November to offer their latest wines and network with potential partners and customers.

Spending the whole day here is not out of the question, but you’d have to “spit” instead of “swallow” if you wanted to remain standing!  With foie-gras sandwiches and oysters and chips, finishing off with hand-make chocolates and matured cheeses, it’s a gastronomic delight for foodies and wine lovers alike.

Put the date in your diary to come on down next year.  Stock up on your wines and champagnes for Christmas and New Year, or simply enjoy the atmosphere and the passion of the participants.  A “must” in the diary!

Cruising on the River Marne, Champagne

Written by on October 4, 2011 · 1 Comment

It was such a beautiful day today in October here in Champagne, that some friends, Paul and Debra and I decided to go take a boat out on the River Marne.

We drove to the municipal campsite in Epernay and met with the lovely Christine who speaks excellent English, and hired an electric boat for about an hour.  You can take a picnic and your bottle of champagne along too, or have a special lunch prepared for you on the terrace before or after your trip.  Christine also does special childrens’ lunches and activities during the summer months.

Today she opened up her boatyard just for us!  We were the only ones on the river and it was so peaceful.  This is just one of the many activities we can organise for you here at Les Molyneux.

Harvesting the grapes in Champagne

Written by on September 6, 2011 · Leave a Comment

It’s only the beginning of September and the harvest is all but over.  I was lucky enough to spend a day with Nicolas Rainon and his wife Marie-Noelle, picking their grapes, and sampling their champagnes.  The harvest traditionally takes place around the middle of September, but the weather in April and May was so warm, that the grapes advanced at record speed, and were ready to be picked in August!

Now everyone’s wondering what to do in September!  The children have gone back to school, so we can’t take a holiday, so everything feels a little upside down.  Nature is a fickle creature.
