One of the best things about w**e is the buzz in the room as w**e lovers come together over good food and w**e and new friends are made.

W**e, chat, more w**e, meet new people, more w**e. A great night in London meeting new Ch George 7 fans.

Loving the autumnal vibes - hunting in the hedgerow I planted 8 years ago for seasonal clippings for the tasting room.

A few minutes in the October sunshine - and then a glass of Chateau George 7 !

Think your experience won’t help if you want a total life change? It does, more than you think.
Many of us assume that decades of work, family and life experience stay behind when we start something new. I thought exactly that when I started Chateau George 7 l Sally Evans l Fronsac/Bordeaux.
What could past careers in business or hospitality have to do with making great w**e?
Quite a lot, it turned out. Planning projects became planning harvest and bottling operations.
Building relationships became welcoming visitors to our table.
And it isn’t only work. If you’ve run a household, raised a family or cared for parents, you already know logistics, budgeting and negotiating often under pressure.
Your experience doesn’t stay behind. It comes with you.
What skill or experience might you be underestimating? Tell me in the comments. I read every one. Sally x

Scared of being a beginner again? You’re not alone.
After decades of being the one who knows, the one who has answers, starting from scratch can feel exposing. What if you look silly? What if you are the only one that doesn’t know what they’re doing?

I felt exactly that when I started Chateau George 7 l Sally Evans l Fronsac/Bordeaux. I’d gone from walking into meetings confident in my subject to asking the most basic questions every day about all things w**e.

But being a beginner turned out to be a gift. You’re allowed to ask the questions everyone else daren’t. You learn faster than you have in years. And people are far kinder and more generous with their time and expertise than you might expect.
Most of all, you feel alive in a way you might have forgotten.
It’s never too late to be new at something.
When did you last let yourself be a beginner?

The biggest clue to a w**e’s grape variety is the colour. True right? But is it?

2 w**es in my cellar in final stages of fermentation - both picked from the same plot this year and both made from the same grape variety.

Yet they look, smell and taste totally different!

The colour tells you part of the story of how it was made - not which grape it comes from. So colour as the biggest clue is another myth debunked.

I love trying new things - love the challenge.
Come by next year to taste 2 Merlot w**es of different colours

A great start to October with a special event for Breast Cancer awareness month.
A wonderful group of ladies gathered to do a yoga class with followed by pink cocktails by and everyone brought food, great joy and donations for the cancer research charity.

Thank you everyone who came and supported the night. We had great fun as well as a reminder of the positive force of a network of wonderful women.

I used to measure career success in promotions. It took a vineyard to change that.
For years, work success meant measurable targets, the next project, the next performance review. I was good at it, and I don’t regret a minute.
But when I moved to Bordeaux, the measuring stick quietly changed.
These days success looks like a sunrise over the vines before anyone else is up. It’s sharing a bottle and a story with eager visitors and of course with friends and family. It’s watching someone have a first taste of my w**es and light up. And it’s building something slowly, season by season. It’s also being part of a real and supportive community.
This September was my 10th harvest here, and I’m still learning.
I don’t think the old definition was wrong. It just belonged to a different chapter.
Success changes as we do. And that’s perfectly OK.
How has your own definition of success changed? Tell me in the comments. I read every one.

I’m Sally from Château George 7. Thanks for walking this chapter with me as I ponder on the lessons Bordeaux has taught me.

Last week was a little crazy from bottling to harvest prep and harvest itself with w**e tourism visitors everyday. While prepping for my talk for the TEDx inbetween!! I can honestly say the week was tiring but so full of smiles.

Diversity is key for me - one of the most important drivers when I made my life change into w**e and created Chateau George 7. And autonomy over your time is something proven by research to be a key to happiness especially later in life. I cover this and so much more in my book .

Hope you had an energising and joyful week too!!

To learn more about life here - come and visit.
