A magical night in mid-June for a small group of privileged persons who after a small tour of the cellar discovered the buffet of wild plants organized by Gérard Verret from the "Jardin Gourmand": butter of wild thyme, flowers of wild leek, chutney of poppies, crackers of nettles, tofu of melilot....and all of this to go with the Voyou de Katz !! To follow, hummus with garlic, tapenade with three algeas, confit of red carrots lacto-fermented served with the Gentil de Katz !! but that's not all, salmon and tart without dough, fresh munster cheese, compote of apples and cristallized flowers ...to go perfectly with the pinot gris, the riesling Wineck Schlossberg, and the gewurztraminer Klur....it was easy to convert the most hard-core carnivores with these savoury plants !
"When good wine and the stories about wine by Jean Claude Pirotte are mixed together, you know there have to have been highlights. That's exactly what took place Friday, May 23rd at Francine and Clément Klur's vineyard in Katzenthal. Readings and tastings proposed by Yves Lenoir and Patrice Verdeil based on the stories of JC Pirotte. With a vagabond humor characterised by a confident tone and anecdotes, they shared their passion for mystérious blends. Senses capable of exciting the tasters. 10 short proses accompagnied charming, cultivated, and poetic conversation. On the piano, Antoine Pollac, distilled perfectly delicious music to accopmany the texts.

Cakes,hot chocolate, and much more...We learned the secret of the roses of Jericho, the anastatica hierochuntia and the seleginelle lepidophylla (we can explain all about it if you come visit...), the trials and tribulations of St Nicolas and all the secrets that the animals talk about on Christmas Eve. There's a small story about a rooster, a cow, and a goat...
