Bringing wine down to earth.
MY LIGHT BULB MOMENT
While exploring Europe, staying in youth hostels and taking the train with my Eurail pass, I began to experience all sorts of sensory pleasures, including bread, cheese, wine, chocolate, licorice, architecture, fashion, art and so much more. I never felt so alive!
