About Your Old Uncle Henry

Bonjour, mes amis!

I'm Henry, though most folks these days call me Uncle Henry. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

After decades of tending to my beloved Château Siroque in the sun-drenched hills of Provence, I decided it was time for a new adventure. So, I handed the keys to my nephew Max (that's a story for another time) and set off to explore this beautiful world of ours.

Now, you might be wondering, "What's an old vintner doing gallivanting around the globe?" Well, I'll tell you - I'm doing what I've always done best: savoring life, one moment at a time.

My Mission

I'm on a quest to uncover the heart and soul of every place I visit. But you won't find me rushing from one tourist trap to another. No, my approach is a bit more... shall we say, relaxed?

You're more likely to find me:

Chatting with locals at a neighborhood bar
Sipping coffee (or something stronger) at a sidewalk café
Sharing a meal with new friends at a family-run restaurant

I believe the best way to understand a place is through its people and their stories. And let me tell you, everyone has a story worth hearing.

What You'll Find Here

On this site, I'll share with you:

The best watering holes, from hidden gems to celebrated institutions
Must-see cultural experiences that capture the essence of each locale
Insights into the local way of life, straight from the horse's mouth
And, of course, my thoughts on the local wine (old habits die hard)

But more than that, I hope to share with you the joy of slowing down, of truly experiencing each moment, each conversation, each sip of wine.

So, pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of something nice, and join me on this journey. Life is beautiful, mes amis, and it's meant to be savored.

À votre santé!

Uncle Henry
