WHERE ? Andernos-les-Bains
Andernos les Bains, a small town in "Bassin d'Arcachon" where oysters are grown and sold throughout the year at the "Cabanes en Fête", an annual winter oysters and white wine festival which celebrates authentic Girondin seafood and Bordeaux (particularly Entre-deux-Mers) wine.
HOW
with a 7€ pass, you receive a complimentary glass and a fork to taste 3 different styles of oyster and 1 white wine (Glasses after the taste are just 1€, and tapas 2€) from any of the stalls around the harbour.
WHAT ?
Our tapas and wine picks of the day:

| Salmon tartare with avocado and wasabi cream sprinkled with dill |

| Fresh oysters with cured duck-ham. |
WINES
1 : Domaine de Troubat, Entre-deux-Mers Haut-Benauge, 2011
Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc (70%), Muscadelle (30%)
Brilliant green/yellow with an exotic and citrusy fruit nose and an aromatic crunch on the palate - a typical Sauvignon-dominant wine.
2 : Château Bonnet, Entre-deux-Mers, 2011
Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc (50%), Sémillon (40%), Muscadelle (10%)
Golden yellow in the glass, white fruits (peaches, apricots) on the nose and a more mellow sensation in the mouth thanks to the Sémillon.
...... AND FOR AFTERS :
Music: The band S.W.Y kicked off the evening entertainment and kept us warm with a mixture of some brilliant tributes and an array of their own songs.
What a day! Join us next year for more fabulous drinks, eats and dances!
