Taking the world one wine at a time.
You might remember Conrad Engelhardt from one of my previous posts on his amazing wine cork art. Well, Conrad actually just finished his latest art exhibition in London last week, and so I thought you might like to take a look at the walk-through video he made of his wine cork artwork the morning before the exhibit.
