The Wine Buff St Emilion



We are proud to announce the opening of our new “Wine Buff” shop in St. Emilion over the coming weeks. The shop is located in the heart of the world’s most renowned wine village, and, it comes with the most magnificent medieval grain silo you can possibly imagine. The silo was manually chiselled out of the renowned St. Emilion limestone and lies directly under the village’s main street. No doubt, some amazing “Wine Buff” wines will be consumed there (in moderation of course) over the coming months and years. With the France v Ireland rugby world cup warm up game being played this August in Bordeaux, we are ready to paint the village green.

Heaven
18 degrees Celsius, very overcast, a good chance of rain, and no need for air conditioning.

Hell
40 degrees Celsius, clear blue skies, absolutely no chance of rain, and, no air conditioning.

Quite a statement coming from an Irishman! Well, you would really have to experience it to fully understand. After just 2 days of 40 degrees the bags were packed for a trip home and a few pints of Guinness in Pakie’s.

Cheers


Paddy
