"...The daylight lasts long into the evening hours, and not being one to waste an open bottle of (you guessed it) Domaine de la Lauzade, I spent a while sitting alone on the old footings of the old church, watching the dusk seep in. From there, one can see the vineyards and the hills and the old tile roofs, red earth, and lots of Provençal sky. I thought about the Old Man and what he must have thought about this land when he was here. Of course, great men seldom feel anything other than ambition, and so sentimental moments were probably unknown to him. But it is to him, and to this place, that I owe some measure of my existence and my roots..."
