FWIW --
Heard last night that there was serious hail in the Rhone Valley. Apparently a lot
of grape crop damage was done, but there were no more specifics.
Also mentioned were the effects of another year of severe drought, particularly
in the Var.

Hi Emery.
Not the entire Var, mostly the drought is felt in the Bandol area,
where precipitation this year is 50% down, and it has not rained more
than a few drops since the leaves started showing on the wines...
Looks stromy though, so everyone is betting on August rain.

Hope you got a little from the recent system. We had about 5 ml total
(that's not much). Here in AOC Calvados Domfrontais, the tiny apples
are falling from the trees... along with the leaves.
