You read my Cuisinier Gascon interview with Pascal Aussignac and the Armagnac and Food Pairing piece.
How would you feel if you had a chance to win a week-end for 2 in Armagnac itself?
Our Contest this Week is just that chance.
What's on the table is a Week-End Alambic good for a stay between November 2010 and January 2011.
On its English site, Loisirs Acceuil Gers calls it a Still Week-End (two days, one night, full board).
Visit, presentation of the Armagnac vineyard, tasting, discovery of the region.
