A GOOD NIGHT OUT

Saturday. Go to the marché yes, buy food yes, cook no! Saturday night is a night out. Sunday cook! In France apart from the larger cities virtually no restaurants are open on Sunday.


A quick bottle of Jurançon before the meal at La Primatiale.

In L'Echanson wine bar I thought we should experiment. Could be good, could be bad. Let's have a bottle of Camin Larredya I said. What's that? said Margaret. I don't really know but..... Wine ordered and arrived. Verdict. Great, very minerally, totally unexpected and we will definitely look for it again. It is a Jurançon white wine with its own AOC near Pau in southern France near the Spanish border.


Appellation Jurançon.

We did see this bottle and were amused by the label. Is there a female equivalent?

My Friend Dean said that l'échanson was the greatest bar à vin in France...Hoping you will meet Dean (and Kate) once a time.
