vino Nobile
I came across a small wine office and tasting room as I strolled the side streets of a small Tuscan town, after a wonderful lunch I was sure I had enjoyed this wine before at my good friend Mike's house.
The proprietor spoke perfect english as he told me of their wines. "I know your wines," I replied, and told him about Mike. He was surprised and responded, "I have 60 bottles of '04 Reserve left, I'll open a bottle and we will taste the portfolio. While it breaths, let me show you the cellar." How could I resist! We descended the many steps and popped out into this amazing scene. Not only was I awestruck, but my first thought was I have to photograph this! I knew a case or two was in my future. He learned of my work over the wine and invited me to photograph the cellar.
I spent the rest of the afternoon working in this cool, dimly lit, bit of history surrounded by these barrels, which were around 8 to 10 feet tall. I had my doubts I could capture it properly on this trip. It was darker than it appears, making it difficult to focus and even harder to calculate the exposure. I shot three sheets of film, each exposure was 18 minutes.
I was uncertain I had what I wanted, but was delighted a month later when I saw the developed film. That afternoon gave me a shot I had dreamed of, also six bottles of the '04 Reserve as part of the couple of cases from this vineyard that are now tucked away in my cellar.
