Obsessives: Renaissance Winemaker

www.chow.com Sean Thackrey is a winemaker, indeed, but he is so much more an archivist, historian, linguist, photographer, art collector. Thackrey shares his views on the importance of barrels, respect for ancient techniques like letting grapes rest, the word terroir (he hates it), and much more. For wine aficionados, hes an inspiration. For wine novices, hes a deep source of knowledge.
