I’ve always said that Italian wine is my signora and French wine is my mistress. I’m a huge Francophile and even played in a French band!

So it was all the more thrilling to me that the Union des Vins Doux de Bordeaux asked me to give them a hand this year organizing trade and media tastings across the U.S. We have some fun cities lined up, including dates for Austin and Houston in April.

But our launch city this year is Tulsa, a town that I’ve been enchanted by on recent visits.

Please help me spread the word and I’ll look forward to a great tasting at one of my favorite wine bars in the country week after next! I hope you can join me. Thanks for the support.
