Hi guys, (*)

A bunch of us are heading down to Le Mans for the 24 Hour Race this
coming weekend and I was wondering if you fine folks had any
suggestions for wine-related destinations in the area, as a trip away
from the circuit for an afternoon might bring welcome relief from the
dust, fumes and noise. That's sacrilege to the petrol-heads, I know,
but the race is really just an excuse for a group of 40-year old
school friends to have a weekend away.

One of the group is a genuine wine nut, one prefers lager, and the
other two (of which I am one) just like drinking the stuff. Boy, do we
like drinking the stuff.

I can't promise to return copious tasting notes, and they are likely
to be of the Texaco -v- Halvoline variety, but feedback will be
gratefully reported.

Thanks in advance.

Nigel
