My Papa

My father has given me many things over my lifetime – love, support and knowledge.

His philosophy on winemaking is in my head each day.  He has a gift with the vine  - an instinct I admire.

His technique was to choose your vines carefully.

Cultivate the vine with your horse.

When you do this remember that you also cultivate peace and harmony 

Harvest the fruit at the right time and make a good wine

And distill “une eau de vie” ( water of life )

That’s my dad, 95 young and still  solid like a Rock

Bon fête papa

Happy fathers day
