A Taste of Local Life

On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of attending a special, informal wine tasting at La Petite Cave, a charming wine bar in the heart of Blaye. It was more than just a tasting, it was an invitation into the life of the owners, a couple with a deep passion for wine and art.
Leslie is the entrepreneur and wine educator and his wife, Clarissa, is the interior decorator, artist and wine maker.

The couple shared not only a tasting of their own wines, but also a glimpse into their artistic world. We were welcomed into their art studio, a creative space filled with Clarissa’s work, and shown their secret garden, their winery and impressive collection of vintage cars.

The warmth and hospitality of the owners transformed a simple wine tasting into a very memorable experience.
