I agree that there is a great pleasure of speak with the winemaker and hearing their thoughts and experiences during the vintage. As a new winemaker, I still find an endless pleasure in visiting other domaines, and negociants to peak over the fence or to simply experience the vintage through someone else's perspective. Everything is coming along well with the winery and the house. With the snow coming in strong this week, I will need to wait until Tuesday for my barrel supports and gravel. But I am sure the weekend rest will be welcomed before having the barrel move of next week. Thanks again for viewing and also for responding. It would be great to meet you one day as well.

I have never had any interest in becoming a vigneron but to follow you here has been a pleasure, I wish you all the best in your first vintage and hope to try them one day. Every visit I make to a Domaine is, with the odd exception, a real pleasure to see their enjoyment of us amateur enthusiasts tasting their new wines. I must admit intellectual tasting is not my thing and I limit this to the basic senses process prefering to drink with friends and being able to drink bottles purchased direct from many Domaines over the years has been wonderful, it just adds to that sense of place that is so evident once you have been to Burgundy. Well enough rambling from me and I hope to meet you soon. cheers Phil. Hi Ray hope everything is going to plan both with the wines and house!
