2014 Bourgueillothérapie: Eddy Oosterlinck now best dressed man in Layon

A now resplendent and relaxed Eddy

As well as making some of the best sweet wine (also very good dry) in the Layon, Eddy Oosterlinck (Domaine de Juchepie) became the valley's indisputably best dressed man when he bought my shirt@the 2014 Bourgueillothérapie auction. The auction raised money for La Croix Rouge.

looking a little stressed
