Thanks for a Great Week! I want to thank all the vignerons who showed up in New York for taking the time and spending the money to come over here and promote their wines. I also want to thank the folks at Polaner Selections for throwing a great tasting last Wednesday. Hordes of New York wine types attended and the event was one of the more exciting wine schnook events I have ever been to in this town. They're a bunch of geniuses over there at Polaner. I want to thank David Lillie at Chambers Street, Jeff Connell at Astor, Amy Pommier at Prospect Wines, Bruce at Sea Grape and Evelyn at 67th Street for all the tastings in New York. I also want to thank Rick Franco in New Canaan for throwing an Eric Texier tasting at his store and taking out a fabulously expensive ad in The New York Times. I would like to thank my wife Denyse for all her moral support, my children Jules and Alyce, and my parents Sam and Irene. Not to forget Buster, for all the fun and joy he brings to my life. Lastly, I want to thank Harvey, who shared a dormitory suite with me our freshman year at a unspecified university many years ago. Harvey, who has perfected the art of the acceptance speech. Harvey gets to make acceptance speeches every year at the the big movie award ceremony. He has a big budget and runs whirlwind publicity campaigns to make sure his films win. I have no budget. I blog. Sometimes I have blogger's block. But knowing how much my work is appreciated by my readership is enough to keep me going, blogging away. I want to thank Jim for making this blog spot possible. Thank you very much. |
