BORDEAUX IN NEW YORK (3)
A HOME -- WHAT'S UP?, OUR WOMAN IN BORDEAUX No Comments »By JANE ANSON
WANT TO SELL YOUR WINE IN NEW YORK?
The week of meetings ended yesterday with a great tasting and dinner at the Roger Smith Hotel on Lexington, where we had a mix of journalists through the Wine Media Guild and some really great consumers through the site Cork’d (owned by Gary Vaynerchuk, a kind of Facebook of wine). They should be reviewing the wines on the site over the next few days.
The last wine trade meeting of the week had been with Millesima USA, a retail store that is part of the Millésima wine merchant business in Bordeaux itself. Millésima is the only licensed retail outlet of a French wine company in the US, and has a great range of both Bordeaux and non-Bordeaux wines, located on the Upper East Side. The director over here is Roger Bomrich, one of the first masters of wine in the US. I’m going to repeat here pretty much in full what he said, because it was just so interesting and helpful for the winemakers, and gave a great overview of the routes into the US. Read More
Greek Women of Wine is one of the most active professional associations within the Greek wine sector. Through regular educational activities (wine tastings, trips and visits, workshops and conferences) they succeed in promoting the civilisation and culture of wine, while they act as ambassadors of Greek wine in international markets.

je commençai de trouver une qualité qualité exceptionnelle à cette soirée improvisée et je vis que mes deux camarades étaient à l’unisson de cette croissante félicité. L’ébriété qui nous avait saisis n’était en rien cette franche gaieté qui précède l’ivresse, mais plutôt, s’il était possible de le formuler ainsi, un discret bonheur à exister, sans autre forme de procédure. La conversation se révéla d’une douceur poétique inusitée et l’habituelle pudeur à deviser des choses les plus simples dissipée.
Oui patience, ça ne fait qu’une trentaine d’années qu’Israël fait des vins qui ont de l’ambition.
