Chateau d’Yquem 1950? Oh yes please! 😁 A favourite wine in my family, the tradition of drinking it comes from my husband's grandmother who was French. ❤️

I love your story and send you my best wishes, you are living your life true to who you are, love the job as a somme and I'm sure an opening for whatever you wish to do in the future will come. Go girl! 😘

Such a beautiful tradition! I love the idea of having traditions wrapped up in great bottles of wine.

Lovely insight! I am going through a similar situation (and coming from a similar background) - only 15 years older! It is tough and being on the floor although it gives me energy , when I finish my shift, my body and sometimes my soul, hurt!

WSG is good to get a better insight in specific regions and then there are 3 more specialised courses on Champagne, Burgundy and Bordeaux.

I LOVE hearing this transition and how everything is working out for you! Keeping it real as always!

Nearly cried over your mention of the '50 d'Yquem. Happens to be my birth year, but the closest I've come to a bottle was decades ago in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where our B&B host, upon learning that we were wine geeks, proudly led us to the outdoor refrigerator (!) where he cellared his most precious bottles. There lay a 375 of '50 d'Yquem -- it turned out he and I were of the same vintage -- that he was saving for an unnamed future birthday. I wonder if he ever drank it; it seems increasingly unlikely that I ever will.
