"Viva La France": Challenge Of A Lifetime

My Ultimate Achievement

I introduced high-quality Napa Valley wines to France. What a challenge!

Could I create demand and a market for Napa Valley wines in the world's foremost wine region?

I was determined to try.

See how I did.......

Triumphs In Paris

Here I am in 1986, selling wine to Susie Davidson at La Varenne cooking school in Paris, on rue St. Dominique.

I sold wine to over 50 restaurants in Paris, some of which were Michelin-starred.

I also sold wine to 150 more restaurants and wine shops throughout France.
