Here’s a few photo highlights from a whirlwind week in Burgundy during harvest. I’m looking forward to future visits for more in depth coverage for Scott Wright’s book on La Paule celebrations, and continued work with Evening Land. It will take me awhile to recover from being ’embedded’ with the harvest crew 24/7 – the French know how to live life fully!
