My Wine Bio

Name:
Benjamin Llewelyn

Gender: 
Male

Occupation: 
Wine Merchant and panalist



Wine epiphany: 
Cheval Blanc with a dash of water when I was 4. My Grandfathers's company owned the Chateau at the time

Memorable wine experience: 
Sitting with Angelo Gaja over breakfast chewing the fat.He broke the orange juicer and blamed me.

Funniest wine experience: 
Drinking what i thought was Bollinger when in fact it was Cava

Death-bed Wine: 
A methuselah of Mouton 45. I suspect there aren't many.

Biggest wine disappointment: 
The Bollinger that I tasted before I realised it was cava!


Wine hero: 
today it's Ludovic Bonnelle of Domaine du Pech-making great wine in the face of adversity and crummy AC laws!

About Me

Currently living in France and suffern the aftershock of having sat my first year MW exams!
