Many, many years ago, while I was walking down Witherspoon Street in Princeton, NJ, passing a wine shop, one of the clerks motioned me in, and said I had to try a sample of a French wine from Saint-Emilion. He was so excited about the wine because as soon as you tasted it, the wine literally gave you the sensation of expanding in your mouth. That was the only time I've ever had that experience. The result is that since then I've always had a fondness for the words "Saint-Emilion" and was fortunate to visit this wine center a while back. This small painting depicts one of the side streets of Saint-Emilion. 6x8 oil on gessobord.
