Out of the rubble a wine is born! Jean-Marc gave more than heart and soul when he made his first wine: he gave his blood, his tears, and an alarming number of kilos. I talk about this, and more, in an interview about the organic winemaker on French TV.
il paraît (eel-pah-ray)
: it seems, it appears
synonyms: on dit (they say) or le bruit court (rumor has it)
Example from today's video:
"Alors, son vin?" So how's the wine?
"Il paraît que c'est bon!" I hear it's good! (or Rumor has it it's pretty good!)

Portrait de Jean-Marc Espinasse pour l'émission… par BrokenArmsCompany
I am sorry not to have a transcript, in English, of this interview. I hope many of you can understand what is being said. I know I had a hard time… which led the interviewer to rephrase a question or two.
The man who can passionately follow his vision–yet keep his eyes soft enough to see what lives and loves around him–his family, his friends–that is beauty.
Jean-Marc taking time out of whirlwind winemaking – to dance the tango with his mother-in-law, Jules.
Mom was so moved by his gesture that she captured the image forever. "Tango 62" Can you guess what 62 means?
You have captured all our hearts, may yours be bursting today, Jean-Marc, as you celebrate your 46th year. Joyeux Anniversaire!
Have fun–but not too much fun!… Untangle yourself from those Arlesiennes and hurry home!

Happy Birthday, mate!
Hope the trip to the US is successful. Please come to Australia soon as we are sorely missing some great french rose wines down here.
Best wishes from your Aussie volunteers from the last vending – Liz, Peter and Harry.

Hi, You need to be careful as letting someone use your land free gives them squatters rights far more quickly than in the UK.
If you wish to to let your land used for grazing or any other activity you should charge a peppercorn rent at least..
Good luck.
