Louis/Dressner Touring France!
Our three week tour starts in Loire on Saturday.
Kevin McKenna, Denyse Louis and Joe Dressner will be touring viticultural France during much of February.
Our tour starts in the Loire Valley, where we will be joined by about 20 customers and friends of our company. Highlights include the annual Marc Ollivier Muscadethon, this year's new Paulée de la Loire festival, and the 2nd Annual Viti-Valaire International Wine Exposition at L'Herbe Rouge Restaurant in the major town of Valaire. Many people call Valaire: "The Crossroads of Europe."

We then go on to Deauville for the 8th annual Dive Bouteille. Next is the Beaujolais and Mâconnais and then a tour of the Rhône and the Languedoc.
We will be visiting our existing network of growers but are also looking to find next exciting vignerons to add to our portfolio.
During our absence, the organization will be directed by Sheila Doherty, with Eddie Wrinkerman and John Schlesinger working under her command.
Of course, if anything important comes up, feel free to call me on my French cell phone at 06 28 32 41 18. But please remember it is 6 hours later in France than on the East Coast and 9 hours later than in Fresno, California.
