This wonderful label of Château Giscours 1935 tells a whole story in one word. Underneath the name of the estate, and the Cru Classé mention, is the name of the commune that it is located - Labarde. It would take until 1954 for this name to be replaced with today's AOC Margaux mention, almost 20 years after the appellation rules were signed off for Pauillac, St-Estèphe and St-Julien. The name Margaux had been in use since at least the 18th century, and the Tribunal of Bordeaux first fixed the contours of the future appellation in December 1923, including the five communes of Margaux, Soussans, Cantenac, Labarde and Arsac. In between that date and August 10 1954 when they were finally recognised in the AOC, battles raged over what was and was not allowed, mainly instigated by the Margaux Owners Association that was also formed in 1923. The main issues were between Soussans and Margaux, with Margaux determined to prevent Soussans from using the name (the two communes had form on this apparently - Bernard Ginestet in his book Margaux talks about pitched battles being waged in 1592 between the two congregations of the local parish churches, egged on by the warring priests). In 1942 the national appellations institute ruled that Cantenac and Soussans could be included, but not Arsac and Labarde. Eventually, after another 12 years of fighting, all five communes were allow, and AOC Margaux was signed into life. #winehistory #insidebordeaux #giscours #crusclassesbordeaux #1855wine #bordeauxwine #vinsdebordeaux #wineappellations #winestories

At the recent Digital Health's #AIData23 conference, Warsame Sami Nur Nur participated in an insightful panel discussion on leveraging digital transformation to enhance NHS services. He was joined by industry leaders who engaged in thoughtful conversations around this critical topic. The panellists collaborated on exploring impactful ways we can innovate and expand access to care through strategic adoption of emerging technologies. Events like this are essential for charting the future direction of healthcare. We believe it's crucial that industry leaders like us come together to share knowledge on how to best harness the positive potential of digital transformation to improve the vital services the NHS provides. #nhs #digital #ai #data #healthcare

European Roaster Friends: there is only one more week to express your interest in attending the "Strategy Workshop for Specialty Roasters" that Caravela Coffee is hosting in Copenhagen, one day before #WorldofCoffee begins. Please take us up on this opportunity to tease out new (or improved) ideas with YOUR team on OUR dime. Space is limited and only a few spots remain. We're making this investment because we know what it means to pour into our partners. More than a decade ago, we launched our producer education program, PECA, to provide technical support to the producers from whom we source the coffees you love. That support comes at no cost to the producers nor are there obligations to sell us their coffees. The return on investment (ROI) is a prosperous relationship that improves over time. We know that this works at Origin and we are convinced that it will work at Destination; but only if you're willing to join us. Here are 3 great reasons to join us on Wednesday, 26 June: 1. Strategy and Innovation Professor and Author Vaughn Tan is facilitating 2. The event will be held at Admiralgade 26: https://lnkd.in/e2M6zugR 3. This is a "no-sell" zone for Caravela We hope that you'll think of this strategy session as an organizational self-care commitment before entering #WorldofCoffee. Here are the 3 steps we invite you to take: 1. Express your interest: https://lnkd.in/e5PD4wHu 2. Arrive to Copenhagen in time to meet us at 1pm on Wednesday, 26 June 3. Commit to the process and prepare to have some fun with your team If you have any questions, please drop me a line. We hope to see you there! Seriously. We do!
