2014 Bourgueillothérapie (13.9): photos from Saint-Nicolas-de-B + Promenade

 Artists and producers in the recently renovated space in front of 
the church of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil 

Artists and producers@Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil
As promised some photos from the most westerly group of Bourgueillothérapie artists and producers. From the wines tasted here I was most impressed with Domaine Amirault poured by Xavier Amirault and those of Gérard Vallée (Domaine de la Cotelleraie).

 Sandrine Duveau – her painting won a prize this year


 Valérie Herlin@work on her prize winning sculpture
