A Great Tasting! We rarely do events, but it went great the other day. Everyone at Louis/Dressner worked like lunatics, the tasting was a great success. The wines tasted great, there was good food, lots of people came, they lingered and there was no Marquis Phillips Shiraz 2002. What more could a wine geek ask? I would also like to thank Mike Wheeler, wine distributor icon extraordinaire, for convincing us to do the tasting. We'd also like to thank everyone at Polaner Selections for promoting the event, even though we were showing much paraphenalia that we don't have listed with them. Yes, we're all schnooks in the wine trade. But occassionally, we transcend our miserable schnookdom. I'd also like to thank the people who came from out-of-town. The two Ricks from Connecticut, Boston Wine Impressario Steve Mosher, Melanie Mann of Whole Foods Seattle who is planning to take over the New York market, and Brooklyn Restaurant Impressario Arnaud Erhard from Red Hook. Part-time Louis/Dressner employee Mona Moore also played an exemplary role. Again, thanks to all. I'm off to Chicago this week to suck up to Sams. They're opening a mega store in New York, and we desperately need their business. |
