In the end it wasn't -30 or -40.
As expected, the people were extremely nice and came to listen very politely to the explanations of each vintage.
The accent from the #South blends in with all the others, from the Schnord or from our Belgian neighbors.

And then, in the middle of this ballet, sometimes chaotic, bottle in hand, scotch in the other, followed by a #Limoncello .

In short, Lille, you were magnificent for a 1st Salon des @vigneronsindependants !
We will come back
