Boston Wine Expo 2010

The nation's largest trade and consumer wine event took place this weekend at the nineteenth annual Boston Wine Expo.  Over 450 international and domestic wineries participated in this year's Grand Tasting.  With more than 1,800 wines to sample, I may have missed one or two.  I was rather surprised to see no representation from the Champagne region on this occasion.  Indeed, France seemed to be underrepresented overall.

Featured speakers included Kevin Zraly (keynote) of Windows on the World Wine School; Gary Vaynerchuk of WineLibraryTV.com; Gloria Maroti Frazee from Wine Spectator; and Leslie Sbrocco, award-winning author of "Adventures of a Thirsty Girl."

Greetings, Robert-Gilles! Unfortunately, too much favorable publicity for underrated wines (such as those from the Côte Chalonnaise) usually leads to higher prices. (Should that happen, of course, we'll know whom to blame!) Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to your series.

Dear Friend!
Greetings!
That is the marked advantage of living in a big city!
Your lucky one!
Incidentally, I'm planning to run a series of articles on Cote Chalonnaise/Bourgogne wines, probably the most underrated wines in Home country!
Best regards,
Robert-Gilles
