« Hot Damn! • Main • Ahr You Sure That's a Pinot? »
filed under: Regional Spotlight
Avignon may sound like a sleepy town, but there's actually a very cool sub culture there that I was happy to discover with my tasting companion, ole JC, this past summer in Provence. In my reviews of that trip here on the blog I spent a ton of time talking about the vineyards of Bordeaux and the Rhone, but I didn't cover as much of the other side of things - everyday life - that we thoroughly enjoyed in those areas. Here's an initial taste of that, courtesy of a gnarled old grape vine left out on someone's porch on a side street in Avignon, presumably to be taken away with the next morning's trash. The graffiti was a nice touch, I thought.
