Sunday we went off to a nearby village where an artisanal vinegar producer was offering a "porte ouverte". I have mentioned these before but in the context of wine. This was the same sort of thing in which we toured the small plant where the vinegar is made while the owner explained how he bought grape concentrate from Spain to flavor the merlot, cabernet sauvignon, semillion, cabernet franc, sauvignon blanc vinegars he produced. We tasted tiny amounts of the vinegars sprayed on to a spoon and they were wonderful. The owner had hired a caterer to prepare scallops with a sauce created from his vinegar which were delicious too. I am a big fan of these "porte ouvertes" and will be on the look-out for more.
