In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, I created this mosaic by cutting two images of a wine barrel into strips–one vertically and the other horizontally–and then wove them together. I then printed small, square images from my archives of winemakers and places I have visited and photographed on the wine route since 1983. I tucked these photos from my adventures into every other square and finished the piece with a border of grapes.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
