Real Wine Assault 2006! An enormous group of vignerons will be making it to America starting March 18th. Various members of this troupe will be touring New York, Portland, Seattle and San Francisco. Some will be in all four cities, some only in New York, and one will only be coming to Seattle because they want to make a Nirvana pilgrimage and see the original Starbucks. That's right, this year there is going to be a big West Coast swing! Vignerons include: 1. Catherine Roussel and Didier Barouillet from Clos Roche Blanche 2. Jean-Paul Brun from Domaine des Terres Dorées 3. Christine and Eric Nicolas from Domaine de Bellivière, 4. Franck Peillot from the Bugey 5. Marc Ollivier from Domaine de la Pépière 6. Various Mothers and Daughters from Domaine du Closel 7. Eric Texier 8. Suzanne and François Pinon from Vouvray 9. Alain Coudert from Clos de la Roilette 10. Jean-Paul Versino from Bois de Boursan 11. André Iché from Château d'Oupia 12. Claude Maréchal from Burgundy 13. Pierre Breton from Bourgueil 14. Jean Manciat from Mâconnais 15. Nadia Verrua from Cascina 'Tavijn, 16. Thierry Puzelat from Clos du Tue Boeuf 17. Sibling Desvignes from Louis-Claude Desvignes 18. Catherine le Bihan from Mouthes le Bihan 19. Sylvie and Thomas Morey from Chassagne-Montrachet There will be more information in the next few weeks. Lots of exciting events and door prizes. Don't miss out!
Why not Chicago? I am starting to feel slighted.
No Boston visit! Now I'm forced to endure the miserable Chinatown bus or appallingly priced Amtrak service.
So what is DC? Chopped liver? Why do you not bring this show here?
I'd like to see these vignerons given the keys to an outlandish parade of funny cars and monster trucks. That would help emphasise the "assault" aspect of the "Real Wine Assault". It would probably help with your male 21-35 demographics too. There must be some fleets out there looking for an upmarket cross-promotion deal.
do i need my passport?
No passport needed.
can i wear my distress jeans?
Only when I find Domaine de Roally 2002 stocked at a New Canaan wine shop.
Will there be a soundtrack album called "Non-Stop Organic Cabernet"?
anyone for poker?
Only if they're serving 2002 Domaine de Roally.
don't be ridiculous. nobody drinks wine at poker games. can we use your place for a game while you're in france mr. dresser?
Will you advance me a paycheck, Mr. Sheriff? If so, deal me in.
Wow, that roster is mind-boggling!
Perhaps they can be persuaded to do a quick bombing run between Chicago and Denver? |
