Allez les Bleues! I'm off to France tonight! First stop is Sunday's gala reception and World Cup Final viewing at the newly-opened Musée du Quai Branly. The French government has invited all recipients of the Order du Merite Agricole, to this exclusive gathing to root, root, root for the home team. Strangely, I did win this award several years ago for my service to French viticulture, even though I'm totally indifferent to soccer. But I'm not one to turn down an important honor like this! On Monday, I'm off to Vertus, to meet, taste and rehash the exciting Sunday night soccer game with Sophie and Pierre Larmandier. I'm hoping to taste a vertical of non-dosage Champagnes, since I always have to hear how dosage helps Champagnes age. I don't believe it and would like to taste some older bottlings On Tuesday, I'm off to glamorous Poil Rouge, smack dab in the center of St-Gengoux-de-Scissé, where I will reunite with my wife, three children and dog. Maybe I'll rest some, maybe we'll go see growers in Burgundy and Beaujolais. We will grill some good steak from the Charollais and eat some declicious goat cheese from Marc Groseiller. There are many pleasures to being in the Mâconnais and I intend to enjoy my stay, regardless of the outcome of the World Cup final. I'll be back in New York in mid-August. Have a great summer, drink lots of White Poulsard, and buy lots of 2005 Bordeaux Futures!
have fun and don't forget that a french girl just won wimbledon so you'll have so much more to rehash at your festivities!
I hope the Larmandiers escaped the hail.
give my best to all the methodists!
Enjoy the radishes, sir!
My God! They cancelled my flight and I am being held captive in a Hampton Inn located in Jamaica, Queens.
