French Family Wino
October 1st, 2011 • Related • Filed Under
In his classic book – “Small is Beautiful” – E.F. Schumacher reminded us of what we already knew. That size isn’t(always) everything; that the smallest fruit is the sweetest; and that shortest is usually best.
Taking my cue from point number three, here’s a video that’s short. But which, for me, underscores the experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to share with the people of all Nationalities . It reasonates particularly, and, obviously personally, with the French. And with the atmosphere of French Country Life’s emphasis on two essential threads in their Human tapestry – Family and Wine.
Ok – let’s keep this short, and get to the short!

You’re right. Short, but definitely very sweet.
truly one of the shorest, but best of your always excellent posts.
I’ve never been to France(altho i DO like their wine!) – but your video has got me off my butt and onto my travel agent.
a bientot?
as your other commentators have said, this is short and very sweet. Really giving the flavor of the countryside.
While I agree with your other readers who have commented on the atmosphere your video displays, I’m especially intrigued by the way you manage to make the ultimate French visual cliche – the wine bottle(s) seem fresh and new. You have a great eye!
your other readers have beaten me to the punch with their reactions. all i can add is thanks for keeping up the quality
content! (p.s. no, i don’t work for google! (lol!)
makes me want to hop a plane right now!
A very beautiful and moving portrait of french country life. Easy to see why you’re so attracted to it!
this is cool….but i really liked your take on the adventures of Mr. DSK. will you be bringing him back for an encore?
