6 Questions with Jean-Jacques Morel of St. Aubin

6 Questions used to be a regular feature that I used to adore reading in the Sunday NY Times
Magazine.  Now I want to bring the format to Fass Selections by featuring our favorite wine producers and their candid responses to questions. I love this format as it extends beyond the traditional wine questions and shows am irreverent human side to all the people I work with and work with us. I hope you enjoy this series and the latest installment is Jean-Jacques Morel of his namesake winery outside in the small village of Gamay within St. Aubin. I love this man, so pure, so earnest.
