PostsA day in the sun

Sitting in glorious sunshine on the terrace of The Restaurant du Pont having a delicious lunch we are reflecting that it is almost two years ago that we fell in love and bought Maison des Bulliats and its vines in Regnie, Beaujolais, one of the most idylic spots on earth.
Madame Verchere approaches us with the menu. In her husky, Lauren Bacaul voice she leans over and with a large smile orders some more of our 2005 Regnie. It was here that we had made our first ‘proper sale’ and I remember how totally green we were! Another hurdle among many, how much do we charge? And how exactly do we write the invoice? Thinking on our feet we manage somehow and now, today, this is one more of many orders we have had from this pretty restaurant overlooking the Saone river.
