... Boozy Nights

 At our visit to the Château Saint-Sernin a couple of days ago, we saw information about their regular Friday night 'do'.

We liked the sound of it so invited our friend Judith to join us and we went not knowing quite what to expect, especially as it is situated 'in the sticks'!

We arrived to find, to our astonishment, that the venue was filling up and we even had allocated seats.  We were a little disappointed as we had been placed on a table with 4 other English ... although we soon found that they were OK (ie they didn't come from Essex).

As you can see there were a lot of people attending (the organisers limit the numbers to 100), the bar was serving the vineyard's wines and there were 3 different food stalls.

The band were playing Spanish style music (it could be said that they were a Gypsy Kings tribute band for those of a certain age!)

As the evening wore on ...

... we shared a bottle of wine and enjoyed a meal of empanadas (a filled spanish type of pasty), a spicy chicken and rice dish and a pudding of fromage frais and mango.

The music continued loud and lively and it was lovely to be sat outside in the warm evening.
