Service

Is the Sheila Doherty Angel Card Word of the day.

Sheila Doherty, Channeler and Louis/Dressner Executive

We at Louis/Dressner are dedicated to serving vignerons. All our daily activity is directed to the goal of making it possible for great vignerons to continue to make great wine. We serve our vignerons by marketing their wine to American consumers, a necessary component in our dedication to vignerons service. If we can make a living through vignerons service dedication, so much the better, but making money is only a necessity of life, not our culture.

We have a culture here at Louis/Dressner Selections -- Vignerons Service. It is a culture that is unique and that we are proud to serve. It is the folks in the fields, in the cellars, the people who bring the earth alive which makes it a privilege to be in the wine trade.

Yes, Service is the Sheila Doherty Angel Card Work of the day.

Sheila Doherty is not only the International Operations Manager of Louis/Dressner Dressner Selection, she is also the Official Wine Industry Mystic Channeler (OWIMC).


in the tradition of the great Irish mystics!

Joe Dressner - Captain Tumor Man!


Hi, I'm Joe Dressner the famous wine importer and I have brain cancer!

I already have a wine blog and frankly wine is such a luxury business that I hate to mix my cancer problems with my wine observations. I think it would be a general downer for the lifestyle crowd out there.

Furthermore, we in the wine trade always claim there are tremendous health benefits to drinking wine. I've already had cardiovascular bypass surgery over eight years ago and now I got a tumor aggressively rattling in my brain. My colleagues in the glamorous wine industry want me to keep it quiet.

So, I've started this wonderful new blog to discuss wine, brain tumors, my life and to give you hot tips on handling the cancer stricken around you. There will also be practical wine/radiation pairings when I start radiation therapy and chemotherapy next week.

Having brain cancer means I might both physically and intellectually decline. So, I will be using this blog as a venue to pursue petty vendettas against relatives, acquaintances and people in the wine trade.

I might also lose touch with reality and say things that are not true or are only half true. The important thing is to have fun and enjoy this rare and precious time in my life.

One of my pet vendettas is my cousin Dr. Barbara Hirsch. Dr. Barbara Hirsch is a very important Great Neck Endocrinologist, who was raised and nurtured by my parents. Dr. Hirsch waited until my father was near death and my mother was suffering from a rare neuromuscular disorder, to write them a seven page letter denouncing them for being horrible to her for the entirety of her life! Despite my concerns, Dr. Hirsch still refuses to apologize.

Last night, I drank a beautiful bottle of Bourgueil Clos Sénéchal 2005 from Pierre Breton. It was sublime and reminded me that I used to be healthy. Not only that, the vineyard used to be there before I existed. It exists independently of my having cancer and will continue to exist. You ought to buy some.

August 2009 Postscript: Not only does it exist independently of my cancer, it also exists independently of Louis/Dressner Selections. After 18 years, they have dumped us for Kermit Lynch. Oh well. At least I'm alive!
