Nice portrait of the owner, and I love the dog hiding under the machinery.

Yesterday, we drove about 30 km south to the village of Zachowice to visit Winnica Adoria, a vineyard owned by a transplanted American (due to his Polish wife) from Washington state. I was familiar with the wines thanks to a previous online purchase (based on a recommendation from a Polish economist at the OECD), so I took advantage of the good weather to pay him a visit.

Poland is obviously not known as a wine country, and the quantities produced are nothing in comparison with more southern countries, but the quality is good and Mike’s wines have done very well in international competitions. This is just about the only good thing about climate change, that the world’s wine growing regions expand.
