I struggled where to place this gem within WB and this seems best. No traction on my FB page, which seems more a commentary on my 400+ friends there than this beautiful tale about an era bygone.
When folks ask about what I miss after my years living in Dixie I invariably mention storytelling…
Interesting both for the characters involved, as well as for the fact that there once was a time when a wine shop owner might have a 6 year old La Tache available for sale, and might pop one to give you a taste as well.
I thought there were layers to this narrative but also loved hearing about a young La Tache getting uncorked like that. Seems MLK recognized the quality!
I met him when I was selling wine there in the mid-late 90’s. It is now a Sherlock’s store, and they are doing a fantastic job. He was very well respected in the wine community.
