Your profile Adventurous explorer
The major châteaux? Not really your thing. What interests you about wine are innovations, original producers, unlikely blends and biodynamics. You’re wary of appellations and will tell anyone who’ll listen that a terroir’s reputation is no guarantee of a quality wine. And for you the wine’s story is as important as the wine itself. Boredom and routine are your bêtes noires. Holidays for you mean action, wherever and whenever you want it. As your schoolteachers said, you don't like to be restrained and prefer chance encounters to the exact timings of guided tours. You discover a region’s secrets by listening to locals. It seems logical.
