...so little time! Just a quick note to all reviewers that the Toronto Food & Wine Show was spectacular. Great wines and fabulous food for four days. We were in the Fine wine tasting area and the Marquis de Montlaur wine stood up to wines that were selling for anywhere from $60 to $200. And the concept generated a lot of buzz. I would say that several hundred people out of the thousands that attended the show stopped by for a lengthy chat on Micro-Leasing at Monte Lauro Vineyards and were intrigued by what they saw and heard. And for the fortunate few who tasted I think they were even more intrigued.
Still this all has to translate into more members and from my perspective it was great to meet so many people who would be the kind of people that I would like to spend some time with in the south of France. People who "got it", who understood the value of being a part of something big and perhaps getting their hands dirty working the soil and the place. ...in short their own place in the south of France.
Curiously, so many kind of scoffed at the idea until I explained it. It's as if Canadians are hard wired to believe they don't deserve a taste of some of the finer things in life. I did my best to dispel that notion and I hope that with follow up I will begin to see some converts to the business. If you were there and stopped by, thanks, and if not I'm sorry I missed you. Look for us at the Boston Food & Wine Show January 23rd-25th at the Seaport Convention Centre.
Salut!
Michael
