After over 40 years working professionally I’m thinking, I’d really like to indulge myself and concentrate on a single project.<\/p>\n
In 1983 I was involved in the Internationally acclaimed book ‘A day in the life of Australia’, I thought why not a year in the life of a wine.<\/p>\n
One of the photographs in ‘Grape Cellebrations’ was of the Grange creator Max Schubert.<\/p>\n
I thought I was born in 1951 the same year Max Schubert created Australia’s most famous wine Penfolds Grange. Why not ‘A Year in the Life of Grange’<\/a> ?<\/p>\n With help from everyone at Penfolds, especially chief winemaker Peter Gago I spent 2012 documenting the story of Grange.<\/p>\n Along the way I thought if people spend over $800 on a bottle of wine they may buy an expensive book ? The exhibtion became a book.<\/p>\n I decided to self publish an expensive limited edition book, that way I didn’t have to ask permission from a publisher to fly to America, I just bought a ticket and went. In fact did two trips to the US. The book like Grange is 100% produced in Adelaide.<\/p>\n
