Finding Life & Art, Music, Food, Wine, Business Associates, Making " New " Friends, Too : Seeing Very Few Retailers I Recognize @ The BOISSET Family Estate Portfolio Tour 2013, Monday, March 4th, 2013 In Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD. So Much Activity!

This was a great event, a real slice of life that encompassed so many things. I was sorry to not recognize any ret

ailers  (  picture above shows Jean Gagliolo and me arriving in Baltimore, Maryland,  March 4th, 2013 )  ... there at this animated function. I did recognize many people in the wine trade that have sold wine to me over the years. I also did not recognize many restauranteurs. I did see and speak in french with jean-Charles Boisset. That is why I went , to reconnect with Jean-Charles. Mission-accomplished. In this poursuit I also saw and reconnected with many " old " wine business pals and associates, as well as make the acquaintance of many " new " ones, too : always a good idea. Stay current and fresh, do not forget the past, share that with everyone : but always stay up with what's happening now and meld the two together into meaningful ways that benefit everyone. Cheers, Enjoy these photos that I will add to as I have time. Cheers,  Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn   EWednesday, May 8th, 2013 ...

(  Arriving, the music, for me setting the stage for the Barolo a

nd red Burgundy BOISSET sit-down wine-tasting ) ...

... I brought my book on Chablis that I got, thanks to my father and his French connections back in the early seventies ) ...   ...  I

would have stopped to listen to the music but the special Barolo and red Burgundy wine-tasting was about to start! Cheers! ...   ... Above is the pouring of all the wines, more people showed up, more wines had to be poured. Very professional. I LOVED all of this. Great pomp and circumstance in an elegant, polished, and refined way! Bravo everyone involved : you all did a great job.

I just would have LOVED to have seen a wine retailer like myself involved in all of this. ...   ... Ahhh, Jean-Charles Boisset above gets the ball rolling. he's great at that. A real showman and knows his " metier " very well. Cheers Jean-Charles!   ...   ...

...   ...   I'm off to meet Jean Gagliolo and talk about these BOISSET wines some more now, Wednesday, May 8th, 2013 ... more to follow, stay-tuned. Cheers,   Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
