We're Pumpjack & Piddlewick (David & Alycea), an eccentric Oenologist Negociant (he who makes wine) and a creative, vintage inspired redhead. We are pursuing our dream of making our own wine in France. We lead a homesteading, waste-not-want-not lifestyle in conjunction with 3 cats, a standard sized Dachshund, a disabled chicken and 6 (or is it 8 now?) pet ducks, including the rambunctious Maggie, Queen of them all. It can get wondrously busy.
