Once a year, we head to one of the salons des vins des vignerons indépendants to discover independent wine producers from all over France. We spend a few hours sampling wines, champagnes, cognacs and armagnacs. The salon is also our chance to chat with the vignerons and, of course, to buy wine.
The acquiescent idealism of France as an avant-garde pastry instigator is a conundrum as to how the French maintain their desirable silhouette.
I was a little nervous about meeting them because meeting new people in France is not the same as meeting new people in Toronto, for example. Customs are different and there are certain topics that you just don’t raise during a meal.
Come with us to experience French life beyond the cliché.
