It’s the first day of autumn. I’m not sure that’s a big deal in France, since it was still 24 degrees today and they’re still in the middle of vendage. But, we did make note of the date and were grateful for the increased daylight we seem to have at this time of year in France, not to mention the good temperatures. For Dennis & Jackie’s last day with us, we returned to the Cote Vermeille and this time went further south to the dessert wine town of Banyuls. After checking out the waterfront, we headed up into the hills above not only Banyuls but also Port Vendres and Collioure. On the way up, we stopped at Cellier des Templiers to check out the local offerings. We found everything here a little pricey for the quality of the wine. The vin douxs were especially high end, but we did have a very informative tasting with an English speaking lady.
