Taste story of...

Michel Rolland An encounter with a famous wine magician. Over the past year we’ve been offering you the possibility of sharing our encounters with wine industry “players”. These out of the ordinary personnages could sometimes come straight out of a novel, as their story appears to be unreal.

Jim Harrisons A meeting with a « soul feeder » who agreed to share one of his dearest treasures: his vinous souvenirs. Getting close to a writer who talks without any moderation…

What they thought back then... Hippocrate (460 - 670 BC), the father of medicine "wine is something that is wonderfully suitable for man, in sickness and in health alike, as long as it is correctly and moderately administrated in relation to the individual constitution.”

Jess Jackson Everything is big in the United States. The strawberries decorating the enormous cheese cakes, the blockbuster movies, the new technology empires…

Gérard Depardieu “Because it was him, because it was me”. The short literary collection about friendship, including texts by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Fred Uhlman, Jacques de Lacretelle or Henri-Pierre Roché, held tightly in one hand by Gérard Depardieu, can only be perceived by a couple of people sitting close to the stage where he has just given a speech for his friend Bernard Magrez.

Corinne Mentzelopoulos “You're so lucky!!!”… to meet Corinne Mentzelopoulos, that is. It's what my daughter says every time I do something that she would like to do. In this particular case, it's not my daughter but my friends/fanatics/connoisseurs of great wine who would like to have been transformed for some hours into the Panasonic recorder I carry around with me.
