Theater has Off-Broadway and Off Festivals, Edinburgh has the Fringe.

Now Natural Wine has its own fringe event during Millesime Bio 2011 in Montpellier (France).

This Off-Millesime Bio event named La Remise takes place at Domaine de l'Orange Bleue in Castries (slightly outside Montpellier) on January 22 and 25, 2011. 

I did not know until i visited their site that Tarzan was a wine fan.

In a setting named l'Orange Bleue, one would have expected Tintin.

The event site (French only) is playfully dancing around the 'natural' theme.

Winemakers present come from Italy, Greece, France and Spain.

La Remise is now in its 4th year.

This is their second year in Castries.

The first 2 vintages (2008 and 2009) took place in Nimes.

Thanks to Louise Hurren for La Remise tip.
