Sushma and Christian

Above you can see one of the wine makers, Christian Moreau of Domaine Christian Moreau, whom I chatted with extensively during lunch. His great grandfather started the winery. Next to him in a stunning blue dress is Sushma Diwivedi, Account Supervisor for Fleishman-Hillard International Communications who orchestrated the event with others and is responsible for promoting Chablis.

World Wine Guys

Sushma introduced me to the World Wine Guys Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen (Mike has the goatee) who have a piece this month in Wine Spectator.

Many journalists flinted in and out throughout the evening, as well as sommeliers and people in the trade. Below is a picture of Jean-Francois Bordet from Domaine Seguinot-Bordet whose estate had been in the family for hundreds of years.
