Guido Bernardinelli: "A Grand Cru is like a great mono-origin coffee: all year long, you need women and men who bring their unique expertise"

Guido Bernardinelli is the CEO of La Marzocco, an italian company based in Florence that created the "Rolls Royce" of the Espresso machines in order to process the best coffees in the world. Guido loves mono-origin coffees as well as great wines and recently read the novel "A fabulous year at Chateau Gruaud Larose."

"Luxury is about precision and this novel describes some of the daily tasks operated in the vineyard to reach the highest level of quality. A Grand Cru is like a great mono-origin coffee: all year long, you need women and men who bring their unique expertise to get the best out of small parcels. Personnally I love Bordeaux wines and more specifically. Gruaud Larose. I have not tried 1870 Gruaud Larose but after reading the chapter about very old vintages, I think I would not miss the opportunity...if any? Guillaume, could you help us on that?"

Many thanks to Guido for this message. And please continue your great work in the most prestigious restaurants to make sure that we drink unique coffees after having great food and fine wines...
