Ok, here's the deal... My parents are moving back to the US after 4 years of living outside of Paris. A representative from the moving company did a walkthrough of the house this week to see what equipment they would need to move all my parents' stuff. My dad has a very well stocked wine cellar. He learned from this representative that in order to ship all the wine back to the USA he would have to catalogue every single bottle, go to the FDA's web site, enter the manufacturer and production date of each bottle, get a special code for the bottle, and find its value. After all the effort of compiling this list, he would have to pay a ridiculous percentage duty on all the wine. This is all thanks to some new bio-terrorism law. Thanks, Bush!

The solution to this problem, obviously, is to drink the wine. This is precisely what I plan on doing. But...

I NEED YOUR HELP!!! We're talking hundreds of bottles of wine here, so there's no way I can put them all away by myself. So who's free to come drink copious amounts of fine wine with me in the French countryside? I'm planning on going over there around March 10th, staying the week of the 13th, and coming back around the 18th (provided I can get vacation time for the week,) but that's not in stone yet. Don't let this wonderful opportunity pass you by! Let me know if you're interested! :)
