Subject: Congratulations!
Hello Mr. Breton,
I have been wanting to email you for a long time. I simply wished to congratulate you.
I live in Paris and I love wine — within the limits of my budget. I found in your newsletter a unique simplicity which I regard highly in these times of flooding spam and unbound commerce. Furthermore, your emails only come on a quarterly basis and are surgically precise: clear, direct, modest, frank and always full of good recommendations.
I encourage you to continue your endeavour and — of course — I tell my friends to come and visit your site.
Sincerely,
German Montoya
About the author
I am a white male in my fourties. I am French.
I do not work in the press industry. This site merely represents myself.
I got into a wine passion slowly — by realizing that there was always more to understand, and that it was a pleasure to get to know winemakers better.
