Native Californian Ray Walker was studying to become a securities representative at Merrill Lynch but found the work unfulfilling. He had a wife and, soon, a baby daughter, and felt he needed to be responsible and live the corporate life. But Ray had a dream: to make Burgundy wine in France. THE ROAD TO BURGUNDY is Walker’s charming account of the stumbles and serendipity that led to his transformation from corporate drone to vigneron.
