Simon.

Name: Simon.
(Beard) Age: This one is a month.
Do you miss your chin? No. Not at all.
Beard grooming routine: I just trim the moustache to keep it away from my mouth. The wine tastes better that way. 

Today, four Yarra valley winery tastings in, I discovered Simon at the back of a cask room. Simon is a wine maker at Oakridge…and what a fine vintage he is. His beard had an aroma of damsons, leather and vanilla with a faint note of oak. I don’t know about his palate.

It was harvesting time at the vineyard, so after a behind the scenes tour we left the lads to it. Only, we didn’t exit the yard so smoothly. Distracting the car-full of beard admirers by passing my camera around zoomed into the above capture’s chin fur, the driver scratched the car down a metal cask cradle, to the hilarity of the watching wine makers. The lesson here is don’t beard spot and drive.
