Excuse any French mistakes as I learned how to speak it years ago and not so much how to spell and write it. I simply did not like at all hearing this story from Sal that I have known even longer than Francois about how he was fired/ let go this past December from his job representing the many fine French wines and Portuguese ports and the champagnes of POMMERY and HEIDSIECK-MONOPOLE. I hesitate a second before posting this but I will soon once I have spoken to Francois tomorrow to hear his side of the story. Cheers et bonne chance Francois. Nous avons votre cote ici aux Etats-Unis ... Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
