On the left are Jean-Claude and Michelle Palu, proprietors of the outstanding "Mas du Novi" vineyard in the Languedoc region of France. Pilar reproduced Novi's logo on a delicious cake for their visit to Montagne St. Emilion. We have made the decision to delay the opening of the "Wine Buff" St. Emilion until March 2012.
When we began preparing the interior for painting, we found magnificent stonework, dating back to the middle ages, underneath the cement based plaster on one of the walls. We have demolished all of the interior plaster board walls to expose the original stone, and discovered that all walls are plastered over with cement.
We are now in the very time consuming process of stripping the cement based plaster to expose the original stonework. The end result promises to be amazing.
Imagine yourself for just a moment, drinking delicious St. Emilion wines, accompanied by scrumptiously mouth watering pate, cheeses, and real french baguette; and all this in a medieval wine cellar, right in the heart of the world's most renowned medieval wine village. Do I have a tough job or what!
I promise to upload photos of the building once I have located the USB lead for my camera!
cheers, Paddy
