By L.M. Archer, FWS | Bourgogne ML
Each first Friday of every month through 2016, I’ve invited some of my fellow wine writers the opportunity to join me here on binNotes | Red Thread™ to share a feature on some rare, obscure, or under-appreciated wine region for which they feel a special passion.
I hope you enjoy their stories as much as I do.

“Everyone makes chardonnay. Chardonnay is therefore ubiquitous and boring. Everyone makes chardonnay. Chardonnay is therefore endlessly diverse and interesting.
