It takes years to produce it. There's great romance to it, but more importantly, I love the flavor profile of it. It's complex in its simplicity. When you taste them all lined up, you really begin to understand. You're opening your eyes to a whole new world, and I'm looking forward to doing it in Vail.

As a character we've got a head start because of Inspector Morse's popularity. In other ways we're slightly hamstrung by the character's original function.
