I’ll try not to be schmalzy here, but no matter how long we stay in Cairanne, it’s always tough to realize that your visiting time is done. So we took a couple of short outings today, first a walkabout the old village and then some wine tasting at Camille Cayran and Vacqueras as we attempted to give Dan and Jane the lie of the land.
Of course the harvest is still in full swing and unfortunately as the evening approached, so did the rain. By the time we were in Le Tourne au Verre for dinner, the rain became torrential and was accompanied by a nice sound and light show. This will make it really tough to get the wagons into the fields and the ripe grapes, like the syrah, could decide to burst out of their skins, which will reduce the yield even more.
For the most part, we stayed close to home and are pretty well packed for tomorrow’s departure. We were glad to fit in one more dinner at Le Tourne au Verre and Sabrina was as accommodating as always.
So....off to Marseilles!
