The Wine Maker
Simon "the Mad Englishman" Hawkins.
Simon hails from the U.K. and met his future wife during his time as a student in France. Working in the textile industry took them from Paris to the USA for a few years before landing them in deepest rural France.
A love of wine and the attraction of French rural life led them to take the plunge in 1990 and re-establish the Domaine's activity, which had completely ceased in 1965. Perhaps Simon had vague memories of the BBC series "The Good Life". This was before a certain Peter Mayle let on to the rest of the world about the pleasures of French country life.
