Not a very good puzzle this time, sorry (and I shd certainly have used Three Choirs as a clue

So many thanks, Flay

Nooooooo, I was just making a suggestion before walking the dogs (soaking, freezing, miserable & muddy). I thought Château Larcis Ducasse etc could be the answer, but I did not dare to give it as I have to get to work, I won't have the time.

Well, Vinteuil, I nominate you to do the next one as you fiddled the last one with your outlandish use of French in the answer. Well?Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

I'm furious I didn't get that one, vindepays !!!Originally posted by vinteuil View PostFlay gets it! - yes, the vineyards of burgundy, bordeaux, cahors...
Are those four names the names of actual individual vinyards then?
I'm bound to say I think Flay ought to do the next, on account of his tremendous insight in getting right to the point, but if Vinteuil wanted to do another for dabbling in yer akshul French, ça ne serait pas plus mal...

Are the usual 3+ elements of the AA question compacted into that pithy phrase, or is this a one-shot question? Is it / are they musical?Originally posted by Flay View Post

Just a single word answer: one person. No time to be smarter. I've already said that the person was musical...

I think we are taking about ORGAN(geddit????)ist C-M Widor who was given a 'temporary' appointment at St Sulpice in Paris and stayed 63 years as organist.
That was fun!
