A 37 year career with IBM had little connection with wine or grapes. However, working in Italy and France in the 1970\u2019s meant a enjoying a glass of the local wine and the country life. And so I decided to move out here in 1994, and benefit from the Provencal way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I speak very fluent but very bad French. Luckily I am usually understood. No, I knew nothing about growing grapes or making wine<\/a> until we bought this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
