Sad to see this, but not unexpected. He always seemed the most down to earth royal. RIP.

NY Times: "Burt Pugach, Protagonist of a Strange Tabloid Love Story, Dies at 93
In 1959, he had his lover blinded. When he got out of prison, he married her. He called their relationship 'a storybook romance.'”
The 2007 weird documentary about them, Crazy Love, (co-directed by Fisher Stevens) is worth seeking out.

Sad, met him about 15 years ago at a wine dinner. I've been a big fan of his wines ever since. Their single vineyard barbara is one of the best I've ever had.

Laurent Vaillé, founder of Grange des Pères, Friday April 30, apparently of an accident on the farm. He was only 57 years old. Apparently frosts with temperatures dropping to -12 resulted in the loss of this year's entire crop as well.
I've always loved Grange des Pères. I've always thought it was one of the purest definition of a cult wine there was. Small, under the radar, hard to get and wonderful.
