Monica giving us a wine lesson.
Angel and Kevin in love
Location of winery
We decided to have a quiet day and enjoy the area around Abeilhan – very easy to do. We visited Les Trinites – the winery where I attended a dinner a couple weeks back. The winery is located in a tiny village, Roquessels, which is one of the few “hilltowns” here. It is owned by a delightful couple, Simon and Monica. He is British, she is Catalan. Monica met us at the tasting room and gave us samples of each of their wines. They are all excellent in my opinion. Even though she was obviously very busy with her daily activities (kids, lunch, etc) she even gave us a tour of the winery itself complete with a very good description of the terroir, techniques they use, the processes, etc. She is a delightful person. Also their “intact” smallish and handsome dog, Kevin, had a 1 hour love affair with Angel. I believe that the winery visit will be the high point in Angel’s trip to France.
After the winery visit we went to Pezenas, had lunch, and went to the shops. Pezenas is always a hit (Marianne loved it).
For dinner we returned to Asparagus for Tony’s final dinner there. I am now recognized by the maitre d’ by just my voice when I call to make a reservation. Maybe we are going there too often but it just so very good and a great value.
