Thanks, Iris. I appreciate your having shared your resolutions. As I enjoy reading about your activities at Lisson, I hope that you keep your resolution number one. I’m saddened to hear about the theft of your laptop. You’re not the first friend of mine who has lost a laptop on a train. The thieves must ride the rails looking for potential targets. I would hate to lose my laptop, so I can just imagine how big a loss this is, as well as the trouble it caused. And those sus scrofa had evidently better watch out, as you sound menacingly serious. Give Klaus my best regards. I hope to see you both in 2010.

Good luck for your resolutions, Tom!

By the way, being curious, I checked out: no “passion” in your article about Lisson… just enthousiasme and determination… so you’re already on your way for resolution 1:-)!

I hope, you will drop by some day at Lisson (on your way to the Rhône valley..), you’re always welcome.

Some of my New Years resolutions:

Write once again more regularily about Lisson in my different blogs (I spend more time reading other peoples recites in December, than writing – and did some pruning too).

To be more vigilant when I travel by train, to prevent another loss by thievs of my laptop – as it happened to me on my way back from germany last week – besides the financial damage, it created a lot of data trouble and insecurity and extra work for Klaus, to fixe everything on a new netbook again.

and to find finally the parade to our sous scrofa problem – and I have to say, that you underestimed widely my passion for violent solutions in your article!

Thanks, Jean-Marc. I do hope to visit your Domaine Rouge-Bleu vineyard in 2010, and I want to recommend your blog as one of the best-written accounts, in English, of making wine in France.

I especially liked the third resolution… Yes, please come visit the Rhone Vineyards even if nearby Chateauneuf du Pape, you will still be in the South of France…
And all my wishes for making your dream come true. These things do happen with time and dedication.
Cheers,
Jean-Marc

Thanks, Wink. And if you need help with planning a trip to Corsica or to the southwest of France (unlikely, as you are “the” wine travel guide expert), you can always call on me.
