Gift Purchased

                  It may not be super original, but I went the classy route and skiddaddled my tush down the street to The Conran Shop and picked up this....

 A vaccuum sealer with special wine stoppers that keeps oxygen out so that left over wine will not oxydate at all....

A wine thermometor, because the FWB tells me precisely what temperature I have to drink any wine he has ever given me and/or I have consummed in his presence....

A set of special oxygenating wine pourers that are inserted into the top of the bottle while the wine makes its trip to the glass...

     Then I walked a few shops down to the fancy papeterie (this is one of the things I love about France, the quality of the paper here is amazing and you can still find old fashioned paper stores) to pick up the pretty wrapping paper that I then put to good use.

       I love wrapping presents. I like giving them even more. I cannot wait to get down to Provence and then watch the FWB put these presents to good use!

        I should've started building my tolerance a long time ago.....

         A toute mes amis.
