France Partnership

Okay Okay, chill everyone...there was a reason I posted in French.

First I let me explain my original post.


Translation of original post:
"Honestly I don't get it.

You are looking for someone who speaks english who knows wine. Well you should be able to find some where you are. Unless you are looking for a turkek. Many people in the wine business speak english very well. Why are you specifically going after americans...is there something fishy going on here?"

I found it a little weird that he is posting to an american board for an "investor" who's only real value added would be the knowledge of english and wine. It smells a little fishy to me. I am NOT saying that he SHOULD hire a french person instead of an american, or making any evaluation of the wine skills of either persons nationality. But since he is in France, there are TONS of people local who know wine, know business and speak very good English. I was wondering if he was trying to snow some Americans into a bad business opportunity. I am probably a little too cautious...he is probably for real...but as they say...be careful, if it sounds too good to be true...

Anyway, I didn't mean to annoy anyone here with the post, in the future I will restrict my posts to English.

WW and Drew - sorry yall, never meant to "insult you", I never said Font Villac was the greatest St Emillion, like you I would way prefer any of the First Growths...but it is at a completely different price point, and I do think, as a 100% Merlot in St. Emillion it is both somewhat different, and a good value versus many californian Merlots. I do drink a wide variety of wines and appreciate different tastes...

You are right that I did open myself for that by posting a negative TN on a wine that I reccomended :-)

btw for the record, as a recently naturlized Americain, I am VERY proud to call myself Americain and to call you all my countrymen. It is too bad that so many of my new countrymen have such a strong negative view of the French.

On that note, I have a flight to France tommorrow (vacation), so have to leave work now...

A la prochaine,

Blue
