| Clos de Gamot |
We got up early in order to get to the vineyard of Close de Gamot in good time before they all disappeared at midday...I had phoned the previous day and learned that it was arrive by 11.00 to 11.30 or miss the boat! We drove from Rodez via Cahors and found it very difficult to find our way out of Cahors. After a few false starts we found the right road and arrived at the vineyard to find a smiling son-in-law of the owner who took us to the tasting room. We made our choice (some to drink now and some to store) and stowed the wine in the back of the car. We ordered an extra bottle of wine to give to Joelle and Patrick and then he also presented us with another bottle for our wedding anniversary!
We drove to Agen for lunch and found a parking place by the town hall and spotted a small cafe with tables under the trees. We had a starter of beetroot with goat's cheese and then steak frites! The steak was tasty...but the service was terrible and after asking for water three times, Peter went into the cafe and collected it for himself!
Then back in the car and off to Bordeaux where we arrived at about 5.00. It was lovely to see Joelle and Patrick and admire all the work they had done in their house. We sat outside over a glass or two of rosé and later had supper and more wine and it was good to catch up.
