Wine: Tasting your way through old cellars

The obituary writers have been busy this year and the case is equally true in the wine world.

Recently I wrote about Louis Latour and Etienne Hugel and there have been many others I could have mentioned such as Paul Pontallier of Chateau Margaux and Giacamo Tachis, the father of many modern Super Tuscans (Sassicaia, Solaia, and Tignanello).

In May, the death of Aimé Guibert was announced, the man that virtually single-handedly changed the world’s opinion of the Languedoc.
