Vendange, Samonac, October 1979. Patricia.
Grape - picking. Chateau Haut-Castenet, Samonac, Cotes de Bourg, Bordeaux. The girl at the right of the photo in the brown jersey - I give her first name only - Patricia, is the main reason why my two weeks here were very memorable! The fact that 1979 was a rather mediocre vintage, evinced from the date of this photo, which shows a VERY late harvest due to late rain, in no way detracted from my wonderful time spent here!
From a scanned slide.

Not the 79! - A very poor vintage.
But I had a very good 05 this summer in Cornwall. (I forget the name of the chateau - this one, by the way, was Chateau Haut-Castenet.)
Much easier to find Cotes de Bourg in Cornwall than Spain who have their own wines to protect and promote!
Have a good weekend!
