New Orleans What a city! We've had some great meals and eaten a lot of delicious debris. Today, we are doing a trade tasting at Cuvee Restaurant, who has graciously asked us to find a way to get Louis/Dressner wines into this city. This might be the first wine trade tasting ever scheduled the day before Thanksgiving. We are planning a follow-up tasting in Dallas, Texas on December 24th. We also lack distribution in that important state. There is a lot of alcohol being consumed in this state. Perhaps more Alcohol is consumed than debris. Just last week, my son came home drunk. I had a father-to-son talk with him, in my den, on Sunday morning and told him to avoid getting drunk. My son was exasperated and pointed out that I was a wine importer. I asked him what he had been drinking and he responded: "Claude Dugat Grand Crus from off vintages." Maybe my son is drinking Charmes-Chambertin, but my guess is that most of the revelers in New Orleans are drinking something else. Walking through Bourbon Street, one thinks longingly of Prohibition.
Where have the great meals been eaten??
Let's hope his palate turns out as sharp as his mouth! |
