Hey Phil! Yes we are 29 km outside Poitiers.
As you say, pretty dry these days. It’s actually pleasant when we have a downpour! Have discovered several excellent local wine producers and turned up in my van several times filling up.
‘10 bouteilles sir..? Non, 10 cases Monsieur!

Poitiers…That wasn’t far from where used to go on holiday. A little village called Meleran. A chap on here had a little cottage that we went to about 4 times on the bounce until he sold it. Such a relaxing holiday. Remember the signs for Poitiers.

We’re in a little village called Vasles. Typically french small village with a baker, butcher, Spar and a Bistro. That is it!

Managed to squeeze 74 bottles into the boot of the GT. Who says they are not practical?!

I think a few more boxes could be fitted in there...

Introducing the Maserati Wine Boot Challenge.
How many bottles can you get in the back a GT/GC/QP/3200/4200/GS or Spyder boot. Must be standard 75cl bottles and must travel over 100 miles or across a sea without breaking any.

GT Class: Bebs 76...

Meleran had a baker and …..Well that was it. There were two towns though in either direction about 6 miles away. It was idyllic.

Fruit juice, f*cking fruit juice, you should be ashamed of yourself. If it hasn't got hops in it you should be buttfucked with a ragmans trumpet.

Local wine maker has a working relationship with a champagne producer. This is their Reserve, a Non-vintage blend containing some older vintages. Absolutely awesome and comparable with far more expensive £50-100 per btl Champagne houses.
Looks like another trip back in the GT :cool:

I have to agree... some of the small Champagne house operations, in what look like their garage, produce some great bubbles.
