It's been nice to reunite once again with the CHATEAU GONTEY Grand Cr Saint-Emilions of Laurence et Marc Pasquet. We know Marc at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits ( 3423 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington D.C. 20008 Tel:202-363-4265 sales@clevelandparkwine.com , http://www.clevelandparkwine.com/, anthony.quinn@clevelandparkwine.com and also now on Facebook at : Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits and Twitter, too at : cpwinespirits ) as he has visited us and tasted in the store now at least twice but I think more like three times.
We did not see Marc last year because of all the bad weather and the volcanic ash spill-out from Iceland that spread all over the northern hemishphere and over to Europe so that the take-off of planes was delayed. That was too bad : it would have been great to have Marc with us once again. We did get Bernerd Bouvier into the store as a result of this so that was a really nice thing, though totally unscripted or planned. I thrive on these types of occasions and so I was sad not to see Marc but delighted to get Bernard into the store anyway.

Marc , will you pour both me and my father a glass? I will drink his as he has passed away and think of him and all that he meant to me as it is on this Sunday Father's Day. Nice.
