If you happen to be in Paris on Sunday 25 June 2006 you can catch a superb "foodie" event called the "Le Grand Fooding d'Eté". This is a great opportunity at very modest cost (€5 to charity) to enjoy a giant communal picnic (from 6pm -10pm) with dishes prepared by celebrity French chefs (including from the Paris Ritz and Le Chateaubriand) and accompanied by the Cabernet d'Anjou wines of Domaine Leduc-Frouin amongst others. Le GrandFooding is to be held in the 4th Arondissement in Paris at Village Saint Paul - rue des Jardins Saint Paul, 75004 Paris.
(see map)
Le Grand Fooding is also held in Marseille (18 June), Montpellier (11 June) and Lyon (4 June) - similar format but using local chefs - see http://lefooding.com

The Cabernet d'Anjou is a sweeter wine made from Cabernet Franc full of rapsberry, strawberry, apricot and peach flavours - an ideal summer wine, and also great with food - it shows a depth and complexity which is amazing, and despite being sweetish this does not detract from the wine in any sense - try it with food (especially spicy, oriental food) and you will be surprised.
Antoine Leduc's 2005 Cabernet d'Anjou won a gold medal in the 2006 Loire Valley wine competition in France - i.e. voted best by his peers! See the new Leduc-Frouin website
