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.

The Wine Importer's Site is Now Googled!
I don't know how, but this site is now thorougly indexed on the major search engines!

Last night, out of sheer narcissism, I did a search on Google for Dressner and Shaving. Actually, I did this search because I am bored with my current shaving implements and am considering buying a Panasonic Wet/Dry Shaver. Long time readers may recall that shaving myself is one of my major obsessions in life. Somewhere in this web site, is a reference to a web site with excellent shaving recommendations and I decided to use Google to find the the page on this site.

It worked.

This means that every ridiculous thing I write here is now accessible to everyone with a web connection. I went to a web café recently, that was right below Machhu Pichhu in Peru. So, hypothetically, a Peruvian Indian could now go to the same internet cafe and read my thoughts about Pineau d'Aunis and Menu Pineau.

Tora Bora.

Having written the above line, you can now do a web search on Tora Bora and Pineau d'Aunis and Shaving and come up with this web site.

Knowledge is power!
