Vacqueyras Fête ses Vins 13-14 July 2015

30 winegrowers presented their wines during two days 13 and 14 July 2015. It's 25 years since the appellation was created. This might be one of the reasons why so many producers participated.
Anyway it has been an unic opportunity to taste so many wines of the appellation and compare them to each other.

As an amateur from Denmark I tasted some of the wines and allowed myself to give points according to my own preferences in the very moment when the wines were tasted in the streets of Vacqueyras. A mouthful to prepare taste sense and then another to judge and finally spit. No time for deeper philosophy about ideal wines. 
Don't take the figures too seriously.

 Some spectacles took place on Tuesday 14 July around noon at the square by the church


In front of the church everyone was singing Cuope Santo
the Provençal national anthem


The priest sprinkled incense on a vine to bless the vines of the village -
I guess


Even a Danish protestant was with holy water


Girls in a ballet-like dance around the vine - in beautyful old folk costumes


A brass band took to the stage. They would later play during a dinner for hundreds of people on the main street


Brothers, musicians and dancers walking throuh the streets


The band in a narrow passage
