“I’ve always believed it’s also to tell stories about the people and the places and what went into the wine as much as it’s about what’s in the bottle. That’s where I’ve done most of my learning about wine – talking to winemakers, producers and viticulturists about the place, their decisions, the accidents, the successes, and the blood, sweat and tears it’s taken to produce their wine. That’s besides the names of their dogs.”- @fiona.mcdonald.798 | October.
