John Kennard and Satu Lappalainen are true Finnish people. Satu was born and having her childhood in Keitele and John was visiting Finland for the first time in 1985 as a codriver in Rally of Thousand Lakes. Now their ”post” during the vacation in Finland is in Keitele where Satu’s mother takes good care of them. While the wineyards are in dormancy in Marlborough Satu and John can have in Finland freeleisure for resting and for their hobbies and friends.

True winepeople in informative, profound, relaxed, informal and tasty winetasting in Metsä (forest) class in the Community College of Kuopio. The evening with Satu Lappalainen and John Kennard was a dream come true for the winepeople. On the the top of the head were Satu’s and John’s narration about winebusiness in New Zealand, viticulture and vinification in Vicarage Lane. And all the time participants had their questions and inquiries so that the evening and room was full of vindicated energy. Not to mention The Wines and their tidbits!
