I talk about this story all the time. So many things, especially in science… occurred because of accidents. Pasteur’s “mistake” almost had him killed, but it all worked out in the end.
It is a great story.
Sutter Home is a fun visit, and to see where it started. I belonged to a Christmas exchange group with friends when I was in NorCal. One of the items that got passed around was a 1978 bottle of Sutter Home White Zin! I’ll have to ask them who has that piece of history now!
How cool Lynn. I wonder who has it now. Quite a collectors piece.
I think this is an amazing story and the information that you discuss in the article it’s interesting and informative. I really admire. Thanks for sharing your personal information.
Thank you very much!
