Marc Broidy - Teatro La Scala
The Marriage of Figaro


November 9, 2023 - Los Angeles California

Following years of musical training and appreciation, the study and practice of lighting design, and a passion for travel photography, I achieved lighting in a bottle.  I was able to attend a performance at one of the iconic opera houses of the world - La Scala.

Nothing about the evening disappointed - with the entire production evidencing the artistry and quality associated with the vaunted theatre and company.

I merely express appreciation and gratitude for providing such a memorable evening - and hope that for the younger generations, we find a way to keep this esteemed art form in existence.  

Not knowing whom this post might reach, I provide the following information to anyone philanthropically minded:

Gratzi Mille!

Types of French Wine


Los Angeles-based wealth advisor Marc David Broidy enjoys many hobbies and interests outside of work. One of Marc David Broidy’s passions is wine collecting. He is especially interested in varieties from France.

France is one of the world’s largest producers of wine. Winemaking began in France in the sixth century BC and the country now produces over 7 billion bottles of wine each year. Winemaking is popular in many regions of France due to the many varieties of grapes that grow there. Popular French red grape varieties include cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, and syrah. Popular white grapes include chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and chenin blanc. There are many other grape types, including pink grapes with a mixture of red and white characteristics. These are used to make rose wines, which vary from light to deep pink in color.

French winemakers often categorize wine quality by the “terroir” of the vineyard. This refers to the physical environment within the vineyard. Factors include soil nutrients and quality, underlying rock type, and moisture levels. Aboveground factors include orientation of the grapes toward the sun, rain, wind, and temperature. These elements are factored into an appellation system with strict rules governing which grape varieties and winemaking procedures can be used in each category.

The Best Rated Wines in the World



Marc David Broidy was a trustee at Pitzer College Claremont, where he was vice-chair of the audit committee and involved in corporate governance.. In his spare time, Marc Broidy enjoys reading, French/France, writing, and wines.


Wine has been produced for over 4000 years, making it one of humanity's oldest drinks. It has evolved into a diverse and widely available alcoholic beverage that varies from a cold white to a powerful, rich crimson. Although there are various wines in circulation worldwide and people's tastes and preferences vary, certain wines stand out as the best.


One of the best-rated wines is the 2016 Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec. Thanks to its delicate and subtle nature, which promises depth and character with each taste, anyone may appreciate it. It is rich and fresh simultaneously, full-bodied and layered, making it a critic's favorite. And you may use the fragrant bottle to amuse family or friends over dinner.


Also, the 2006 Sine Qua Non Syrah is another highly regarded wine. Its silky tannins and layered thick flavor make it incredibly popular, with only 442 cases produced, making it quite difficult to find. However, it is finest when let to mature and delivers a range of fragrances such as blueberry pie, blackberry, touches of chocolate, and Asian spices.
