Photos

As part of my job (the one that “makes the bacon” as my 4-year-old says), I get to visit some amazing regions and wineries; every once in awhile I am afforded the opportunity to try some special wines, too.

France – Bordeaux

  • Chateau Clinet
  • Tasting room, Chateau Latour
  • Crus Classes de Graves Primeurs opening night, 2018
  • Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne 1961 – the last vintage with Paul Despagne as winemaker
  • Chateau Lafite Rothschild
  • Map, Chateau Leoville Poyferre (with tour guide)
  • 1969 Ford Mustang belonging to Jean-Philippe Janoueix, owner of chateaux La Confession, La Croix St Georges, et al.

These photos are from various trips to Bordeaux for the En Primeur tastings over the years.

Spain – Vega Sicilia

  • The vineyards across the train tracks overlooking Vega Sicilia
  • A very big door
  • The wines we were served for our lunch in the Alvarez family home
  • Magnums of each vintage of Unico

I was invited to attend an educational trip with Tempos in September, 2019. In Spain, we visited Vega Sicilia and Alion in Ribera del Duero, Pintia in Toro, Macan in Rioja, and then we flew to Hungary and spent time at Oremus in Tokaj. More photos (along with my story of the trip) are in the works.

Let’s build something together.
