Photographs by Lyn Farmer capturing light in the City of Light - evocative imagery of Paris
Light in the City of Lights
What more can one say beyond the single word "Paris"? Sure, poets, songwriters and novelists have all tried to capture the city's mystique in words, wine lovers have brought their pallets to bear and painters have spoken with a different palette, and we photographers make an effort to capture the essence of the City of Light, but in the end, you just go, soak it up and have these little trinkets of memory to remind you that Paris is...well what more can one say?

Just in time for Thanksgiving, a conversation with a Master of Bubbles, the effervescent Weston Eidson of @westbornwine. He and the Westborn team are making dazzling sparkling wine drawing on exceptional small (and very well known) vineyards in #Sonoma, #Napa and #Mendocino. On the latest Postcards in a Glass (available from your favorite podcast source) he gives us the full picture. It’s a great story about great wine and he’s a lot fun to talk with. Join us, and Cheers!
This is how we get the party started…

If you are going to have 15 wines for breakfast you need a good water to see you through. @acquapanna @acquapannausa
It’s chilly out there (for Miami) - time for an early nightcap with the first cookies of the season - Orange, Olive oil and turmeric sugar cookies.
A magnum of @champagnebaronsderothschild #blancdeblancs is not only the perfect size for two people, it’s a fantastic way to kick off the 2025 Golden Vines benefitting the Gérard Basset Foundation. This was the first taste and the wine has kept on flowing for this great cause.
Armand Mellot, who loves the rocky soil of Sancerre and champions Sauvignon blanc wherever possible, joins me to send a few rocky Postcards in a Glass on the latest edition of the podcast. Great wine and an entertaining ambassador for the Loire! Podcast available on all platforms.
