It was a dream come true to witness the beauty, history, and grandeur of the storied Spanish Riding School in Vienna. The Lipizzaner stallions, the caring riders, and wonderful music were all in harmony. I shed a tear or two of pure happiness! 🎶🐎✨@ReitschuleWien

The Dujac was of course absolutely delicious, but the little heart in the decanter was too adorable! デュジャックの美味しさは言わずもがな、デキャンタの中にちょこんとおさまってる小さなハートが可愛すぎてキュンとしました❣️ #wine #burgundy #ワイン

A wine and music evening! It was a delight to present the 2000 Kalin Cellars Chardonnay as part of the experience. It was so fresh and vibrant, with gorgeous undertones of light umami. 🙏🏻 Terry Leighton 🙏🏻 Music: Ben Webster juxtaposed with Rimsky-Korsakov 🎶 #wine #winemusic

So wonderful to judge for @DecanterAwards this year across Burgundy, Asia, and US panels. The chance to witness the rising quality of wines from Ningxia and Inner Mongolia in China, to the diversity within the Maconnais in Burgundy, made for a memorable experience. 🍷
