“Every year we have an exchange student who comes and works for us during the harvest. In 1992, we had a student, Luc Pavelot, from a little village in the Cote d’Or, Pernand-Vergelesses. We always go and visit the students, and when we did, he gave us a bottle of ’91 Pernand-Vergelesses, Ile-des-Vergelesses “Domaine Pavelot.” We got a letter from him that he’d had a baby and named her Sarah, the same as our daughter’s name. So [my husband] Ted pulled out the wine Luc gave us and we drank it that night. It made us realize that part of the joy of wine is remembering people and places in our lives.”
