Very small sojourns in the Swiss Alps

07/05/2020 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

I came home from travels abroad March 29, a matter of poor timing, via an eerily empty world of airports I hadn’t planned to visit – 6 days of being bounced around en route to Geneva. I wandered through soundless stations, to a world that had been shutting down for nearly two weeks. Travel would […]

The bark of wine

17/01/2020 by Ellen Wallace 2 Comments

Uncork now: Humagne Rouge, Maurice Zufferey 2012 It was early evening as I walked across crusty January snow to the trunk of the old apple tree. Dents appeared on the white surface, small shadowed pits of snow gleaming in the late afternoon light. At 120 years the tree’s branches reach high into the sky but […]

Swiss wine 2009 vintage report

06/12/2019 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment
