FEDORA’S STORIES
We enjoy wine. It makes us ponder, take pleasure, remember. We tell stories of Fedora and of the history of our family and our home. Are they true, altered, or fake? We let you be the judge. Every wine has its own story.
Friends
The youth made them inseparable friends. They did everything together. One was a hunter, the other a dog. One day, frolicking carefree through the woods, they heard a noise in the bushes. The dog rushed towards it while the hunter prepared his rifle and already imagined getting another feather tho adorn his fedora. But for a brief moment, a beam disturbed his aim, his rifle trembled and  fate stole the life of one that was dearest to him. This was the last time the hunter touched a gun. Since then he has decided to become a mere observer of his forest. And, stunned by all the shades of green, he started catching the sun’s rays and condensing them into sweetness that fills our glasses.
Fedora.
