What do you see when you look in the mirror?
That I should drink more wine to get younger. Not to excess, but I have to drink wine every year to maintain my youth.
What’s your first memory to do with wine?
When I was five I helped my grandfather pick grapes. He had a big house with vines all over the roof and he used me to pick the grapes in the smaller gaps. We’d put the grapes in big sacks, then crush them with our feet to make ‘vino patero.’
