D-Day: meeting all our guests in Cahors

Last night,  Cahors launched the Third Edition of  its International  Malbec Days. Starting at 7:00pm until midnight, guests from France, the USA, Germany, Uruguay, China and many other countries gathered in the Cahors lounge next to the Valentré Bridge. In this international style lounge, more than 50 producers offered their wines to taste while, in the middle of the room, local and international chefs cooked their specialities.

Hervé Bourg, from Le Marché with Pablo Ranea from Argentina, Jean-François Dive from L’Ô à la bouche, Gilles Marre from le Balandre with Japanese chef Tomofumi Hirano, Jean-Claude Voisin from Le Vinois, Michel Carrendier from La Garenne, Jann Recourt from La Garrissade with the Mexican chef Miguel Quezada and Philippe Combet from Château de Mercuès awith Argentine chef Thiery Psozomka entertained more than 300 people.

But the party is over and this morning we were back at work with a presentation of the Malbec Terroir and the tasting of several wines conducted by British wine writer David Cobbold.  In a little while we’ll be touring the vineyards of Cahors with Anthony Rose. More tomorrow!
