The Last Teapot- an overlooked masterpiece by Georges Braque- co founder of Cubism.

In 2006, I was a part owner and CEO of Kilikanoon, a boutique Australian wine brand. I used to receive daily news alerts with wine related content. One caught my eye. It described the recent felling of a magnificent 350 year old French oak, planted by order of King Louis XIV, the famous Sun King.

After a long career as a professional cellist, a new millenium dawned, and serendipitously, I found myself deeply involved in the rapidly expanding Australian fine wine market. Seppeltsfield was a sleeping giant with a treasure trove of ancient fortified wines. Its impending sale was an opportunity too good to be true.
