joe dressner

My name is Joe Dressner and I'm The Wine Importer of many French, an increasing number of Italian wines and a Port. I am part of a company, Louis/Dressner Selections, which tries to find interesting and often unusual wines that express the terroir the wines come from and the talent and hard work of the winemakers. This site is my personal spot and has no relation to the company I work for.

The point of this site is unabashed self-promotion, which I have learned is the key to success in the business world. Long and hard experience has taught me that the quality of our wines is unimportant -- it is my ability to network and promote myself that matters most in the business world. Image and illusion are all that matters and our customers feel reassured to know they are buying wine from an important personality who has his own web site.

Most of this site is true, but some of it is fictional. I often forget which part is which. Everyone in the wine trade takes themselves so seriously that I am trying to bring a little perspective and humor into what should be a joyous trade. By the way, my lawyer suggested I include this paragraph.

The site is organized by chronological posts in descending order. There are several posts on each page and you can go to earlier posts by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on older posts. This is a very user-friendly feature.

Cult, Garage Champagne

My partner Kevin McKenna has written a great article on our firm's new champagne house. The article is so good that Kevin doesn't have to use a picture of Buster. That's my literary trick when I have nothing to say. I just pop in a picture of my dog. This pleases my readership a great deal.

Anyhow, our new Champagne house is not even a house. It is a garage. Make sure to read Kevin's article. Now. Stop whatever you are doing and click here to go to the Louis/Dressner Selections Website and read about David Leclapart. Forgive the typos, which will be cleaned-up on Monday.So Click Now.
