DAILY TIDBIT:
Philippe Lejeune, the Old World producer in the video, has a cool history with Boston. Back in the day, when he was a young engineering intern, he came from France to work at Teradyne in North Reading, MA. He promptly invented a systems solution for semiconductors -- right -- then patented it and eventually built two companies, including Galaxy Semiconductors where he is still CEO. He bought Chateau Chambert in 2006 and has been making wine ever since alongside Stephane Derenoncourt, one of the most in-demand consulting winemakers in the world today.
