Hummm... shared some fine wine at lunch time with two sports afficionados... Red wine from the French side of lovely Catalonia, country of French 2009 Champion USA Perpignan... and country of this "Trilles" - a blend of red wine, quinine and tonic water -... a popular "aperitif" drink in these 20s and 30s... from a time when advertisers were very keen to associate rugby and alcoholic beverages...
Caption reads, in English "There's nothing better than Trilles after physical efforts!"...
This lunch was also an opportunity to discover Benoit's last masterpiece... I'am just teasing... this red "rooster" is a sample of a future jersey developed by Sport d'Epoque and available later this year... This jersey is a landmark in the history of French rugby and sports... no less !
Et rien ne vaut le Traille en Aussie Land
