The Magical Bhutan Wine Company (Classic)
Nov 28, 2023
This Classic episode was recorded in September of 2021 for my radio show, then uploaded as a podcast a year later. If you missed it the first time around, I know you'll enjoy it this time.
The Kingdom of Bhutan has been referred to as "magical" for quite some time. So I suppose it should come as no surprise that the introduction of vineyards, while in the shadow of the Himalayas, occurred unexpectedly. And like a centuries-old fable, the hero in this tale possessed an unwitting innocence.
Words that can best describe the project are, adventurous, challenging, and even daunting, but it has the potential to be miraculously rewarding.
Today I share the tale of the Bhutan Wine Company and its founder, the exceptional Michael Juergens.
