I am half way through this blog, but it is a must read. Click on the title to link to Neal's article. Here is a snippet:

"What was the first chateau you ever visited?"

MB: "It would have been Chateau Palmer with Peter Sichel in 1955 and I remember Daphne walked across the roof afterwards. My first visit to Germany was in 1956 and we went drove all the way there from London on a Vespa with the luggage and Daphne on the back. It rained every day."

From London to Germany on a Vespa, with luggage and a wife! To taste wines! And fifty years later we talk about progress! Take me back there! F**k the rain!

Got to go. I need to finish the article!
