I've worked really hard and because I have a boss that believed in me I was able to do it honorably, without using Clicquot and Moet to pay my way as we laid the ground work. I was profoundly blessed to stumble in right as Terry and Becky were starting the push, I was a pushover, You know how I am) and picked up my sword. Right place, right time. <br /><br />I remember once Sir Charles made a comment saying the stories from my shop were, "anecdotal" and it bugged me. Those are real people, spending real money on the things that this former hood rat sold them...we aren't anecdotal, we're grassroots. This new perky interest in the wines we've, I've, been bluingmyself in the face for, well I think this sort of proves that. I owe my customers more than any importer owes me..of this I am positive. <br /><br />I've had Champagne in a million different situations and settings, with people I admire and work for and with, none of them resonate and excite me more than that groan you gave when you first smelled Saves Rose. I can hear that like it was yesterday and I could have spent all night listening to that over and over again. <br /><br />You have been one on my biggest supporters and my favorite guinea pig...still reeling from your reaction to the Coessens I sent you. Not surprised that you "got it", just so fucking grateful that you understood it, and me. Thank you and I love you so! <br /><br /> Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-77085949993413267362014-01-15T14:00:43.143-08:002014-01-15T14:00:43.143-08:00My Gorgeous One and Only,

Folks like Mr. Theise and Ms. Wasserman, early importers of Grower Champagnes, owe you a great debt. Your tireless promotion and passion certainly fueled the current talk about those wines. I can't even see a bottle of Champagne without thinking of you.<br /><br />Unlike Gruner, which still manages something of a presence in the wine market, despite me, Champagne is one of the planet's greatest wines. Once people are hooked, they'll stay hooked. Its price is an obstacle, but these are wines worth every hard-earned dime. That the press is talking about them as every day, don't need a goddam celebration, wines is the main thing. That's the shift in mentality that is needed. That it is arriving is much to your credit, Love.<br /><br />I'm thinking I'll pop one tonight...<br /><br />I love you, GorgeousRon Washamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386836101202976147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-81560206631966795982014-01-15T10:47:47.067-08:002014-01-15T10:47:47.067-08:00Thomas,

Don't think zero dosage and Pinot Muenier based Champagnes are going to win us many converts. Like I said, I get why professionals and "lifers" dig them for people just trying to get into it? I think they will settle right back into their once a year bottle of Moet or Perrier Jouet. I can't help but think of the orange wine "movement" or whatever. Sure it has its diehard fans but for the most part they aren't making many converts. I want converts dammit! Thanks for reading!
