But the glue must be different here, although they were French wines, because the labels never came loose and the paper just sogged out and disintegrated.Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-35310897056540971522018-01-05T00:11:02.589+01:002018-01-05T00:11:02.589+01:00Twice, I tried to post here with my tablet iPad an...Twice, I tried to post here with my tablet iPad and twice my comment disappeared.

Evidently, that name appeared on wines from Bordeau, Provence, Rhône, Bourgogne, and even Champagne at one time. Nobody understood who Monsieur Chanau was. Then it was revealed or at least hinted that Chanau might be an anagram for Auchan, the big French hypermarket chain.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-29606496856518624172018-01-04T12:55:27.185+01:002018-01-04T12:55:27.185+01:00I love that Chinon bottle label.

We had a blanket of snow during the night. I'm all bundled up, and since I have been nursing a very bad cold for the last two weeks, I didn't put <i>le nez dehors</i> since before Christmas, and don't intend to go outside until it is somewhat warmer. I have enough food to sustain a long siege, so I stay put.
