Finely rotted 28-year-old drink

When you start a company one of the most important thing to do is to celebrate all the small victories. This is really important. There are so many things that can go wrong, that when you can celebrate something, better not to miss it!

So, after fighting the incredible amount of papers, references and certification requirements of a bank in England, Céondo Ltd eventually got a bank account in good order. This is the first important step for a company, next one is to get a VAT number. So anyway, with a very good friend we ended-up opening a Pommard 1979, du domaine des Charette. Yes, a 28-year-old bottle… and yes we enjoyed it a lot. For the previous one, this was a Champagne 1975, from Paul Gobillard. The next one will be an Armagnac from 1941. And yes, today I am fulfilling my duties too and putting into cave some good bottles I may never taste, but some after me will.

Pommard 1979, splendidly rotted

Yes, as advised by my friend Olivier I should really buy a good macro lens.
