Apart from the events where tickets are requested, an email to let us know your visit in one of these meetings would be very much appreciated in order to manage as best as possible the logistic.
Cheers and Happy New Year,
Kristin and Jean-Marc Espinasse - Domaine Rouge-Bleu
PS : See the video of the very first bottling of our samples of Domaine Rouge-Bleu Dentelle. Sorry it is a little dark but, after all and hopefully, we did it in a cellar !
Any chance of coming to Alabama?
Bonne Annee,

Have a good trip to the west coast. Barbara and Jim

I'm looking forward to meeting both of you in Seattle and seeing if your wine will stand up to the excellent wines produced in Washington.

Please come to Colorado!!! We have the best snow for skiing this year and lots of it. Having your wines after a day on the slopes would be heaven. Who could ask for anything more?

Have you ever given any thought to visiting Ireland (preferably the Mayo area, an Irish county with a wonderful 1798 French connection) and let us "échantillon" your beautiful wines?

Kristin and Jean-Marc, I am the V.P. of Programs for the French American Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Northwest and I am so pleased to be working with Anne to host both of you on February 12th when you come to Seattle. I have been receiving Kristin's e-mails for
years and also signed up when you started your wine blog. I cannot wait to meet both of you.
Bon voyage,
Betty Frost

Please,
Would you tell whoever your friend is at AF Portland to stop spamming us for the past 3 months with all these ridiculous ads for your visit to town. There has got to be something more important than an Nth visit by some French wine/language enthusiasts that AF can report on. Or has AF just turned into a advert agency for the "Year in Provence"-induced schemes out there? When are we going to hear about Vino Mondo? and Attac!? There is more to France than a "villegiature" for old rich people!!!!
Love to you both and may your wine appease your earthly ambitions!
