Mulberry vintage of Tambunan


Bernadine showing a bottle of his mulberry wine.

As I read the calling card handed to me by Bernardine Philip, I’m struck by the term he uses to describe his occupation – “vintner”.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines vintner as both a wine merchant and a wine maker. In Bernardine’s case, both definitions fit him perfectly.
