Alumni in France, Album 2
Bob Wedgworth, Bob Myers and wife Judy start Sunday with a market visit.
This was a huge wok with chicken and fresh vegetables.
French loaves as big as a watermelon.
The group's day started in tiny Saint Saturnin where we visited Domaine Virgile Joly
CK and Bob Wedgeworth are last two into the small tasting room.
Here is a peak through the door as the group starts its tasting experience.
Joly talks about his 6,500 case winery
No understatement that the group was taken by the young Frenchman's charm and wines!
Fred Siegel '67 and Carol seem to be enjoying themselves.
Mike Butler "82 says cheers!
Michelle Rhoades enjoyed shooting a few shots inside the tasting 'cave'
Bob Myers '67 is all grins.
Lisa Kolisek, Frank '82's wife.
The Myers' say' Salute!'
It was then off tolunch at La Pressoir in the tiny village. Here the cook drizzles fat over roasting beef.
The restaurant was quite big for such a small town.
Everyone raved about the chocolate cake with the rich grenache filling
We topped off the meal with Joly's fortified Rose.
A group shot was certainly in order.
We capped our day with a visit to Chateau Flaguergues within the Montpellier city limits
C.K. Wedgeworth finds the unusual lemon tree fascinating.
Madeline was our tour guide through the Chateau. The Colbert family still live in the 'castle.'
We wrapped our day up with a brief tasting of the Chateau's wines.
The count - Henri Colbert - made an appearance during our tasting
