Off to Italy and France

I've packed my bags and will be leaving New York for nearly a month on Friday.

First off is some exploration in Italy to see if we can find some stubborn Peasant/Vignerons who would quality for February's Peasant/Vigneron Month Festivities.

Then, I'm off to the Loire Valley to attend lots of fabulous events with a lot of our fabulous customers. Every state of the union will be represented in the contingent we have put together, with the sole exceptions of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Travelling with 48 wholesalers can be exhausting!

Then, I'm off to Burgundy, the Mâconnais, the Beaujolais, the Rhône, the Languedoc and, my favorite, I finish up in the Toul.

I hope to write some interesting material here before I leave but I doubt I will have the time.

Best regards to everyone and feel free to call me on my French cell phone.
