A picture of John Brown of Brown Brothers wines at the Milawa winery in 2018.
I took this photo of John Brown – of Brown Brothers fame – at a vertical tasting held at the Brown Brothers winery in Miliwa one cold Saturday morning. I was near-enough the start of my photography journey, or the modern take of it anyway, and this was just snapped as he spoke to the assembled few. I don’t love this picture but I like having it, if that makes sense.
