|
|
At the 2016 Sainte Marie aux Mine Show, Alain Martaud worked with the Show Promoters to create a wonderful exhibit of cases highlighting Minerals and Wines.
It was a great exhibit and in this thread we'll be posting photos of all the cases PLUS each individual specimen in each case.

In all, there were 23 cases with WELL over 375 specimens. I'll be posting a case shot followed by shots of each individual specimen in that case. They'll be going up little by little as I'm finishing up What's Hot In Sainte-Marie right now then it's off to the Dallas Symposium, then Denver, then Munich.
This first case is called, "Rosé Wine and Minerals" and it explores the color similarities between the two.
Fifteen specimens total in this case.
