Vinexpo Fever!
Vinexpo is coming!
This enormous wine exhibition will be held on June 17th through June 22nd in Bordeaux and tens of thousands of wine industry bigshots will be attending.
I plan on joining them, although this year I will go to Vinexpo but manage not to enter the grounds of the show even once. There are a range of satellite tastings with real wines and real vignerons going on nearly every day. Denyse Louis will be joining me, but unfortunately we will have to leave our dog Buster in a kennel in Messey-sur-Grosne, which is conveniently located near our family compound in Poil Rouge.
My e-mail box is sagging with the hundreds of solicitations from wine industry bigshots to come meet them in Bordeaux and to taste their wines. My spam filters are working overtime.
For instance, I just received the following solicitation:
These nice people, who look to be having the time of their lives, are looking for distributors. They offer a compelling package:
"We seek distributors who realize that a family history and a brand name that is easy to pronounce and remember is thus easier to promote and sell. We offer a full service export and marketing department with all promotional items....We want to work with people who will distribute a brand that can grow with their clients needs while supporting the traditional sector.”
Frankly, it is a tempting offer.
What's the tempting part, Joe?
Look how happy that threesome looks!
They radiate good health, happiness, charisma and contentment.
Do you think the women are related?
I'm a miserable guy....and the rest of the people I know in the wine trade are even worse.
I don't have many years left.
I'm tempted.
Are you saying you'd like to be a model? You already are!
