One of the most exciting things about the wine world right now is that younger, more adventurous winemakers are opening up shop in more traditional enclaves and shaking things up in the process. Alexis Hudon, who by way of Quebec City and Paris, studied under several master winemakers until striking out on his own in the Loire Valley. A sommelier by trade, Alexis has learned the wine business from the ground up, going from customer-facing to behind the scenes.  His deliberate and patient approach to the craft has paid off with a good amount of attention from the hipster wine mafia, despite production levels being extremely low.  If you want to know what the kids these days are drinking, it’s this.  You can understand why.  It’s likable, chuggable, and fun, just like we used to be before the whole world went crazy.  Here’s to having fun again and here’s to you, Monsieur Hudon!
