I am working with a group in Southwest France, which is developing wine
tours of the Languedoc-Roussillon area for English speakers.

The visit will feature a visit to Collioure - the "Pearl of the
Mediterranean" and the cradle of Fauvism. The region's full-bodied wines
embody all the strength and vigor of the Catalan soil.



To kick off this endeavor, I invite anybody who would be interested to
contact me by email. I will respond to any inquiries with a questionnaire
and more details on the prospective trips. Questionnaire results will help
us in designing the tours.



My hope is that there will be enough initial interest to put together a
small, custom-tailored trip this summer, which -- I might add -- would be
bargain priced.



Many thanks.
