View from hotel window


5th Floor. Can't open the windows because of the mozzies.

My client, Bob



My Client, Bob, and I arrive at the hotel. Garlands were prepared (see photo). Would normally expect fatted calf but this is India, so may have to do with fatted chicken.

Bob had been in the air for several days from Kansas.

The flight on Emirates

Just another flight. Business Class made it more bearable, and Emirates has really good food.

But I thought that you might enjoy an entry from the wine list.

Willaim Fevre, Chablis 2007.
It is not by accident that we once again list a textbook Chablis from William Fevre.

With some of the best vineyard holdings in the Vonne valley, there is minimum intervention in the wine growing and making alike.

The 2007 is not a showy vintage, but more a return to the real Chablis style.

Balanced, lean and angular
[very much like this writer, in fact] the wine skips, refreshing and enlivening on its way, across the voyager's weary palate. Quite splendid.

So there are worse things to write than sales proposals. I could be doing wine lists.
