Where to begin?The story of my life is an ever-changing one and I wasn't always the glamourous boy of means that I am now. You see, it all started 35 years ago in Béziers, a small provincial town in southern France. My father, a vintner by trade, fell madly in love with Mimi, a beautiful prostitute living in a Bordello on Chandonne Street in town. Once a week my father, Maurice, would travel to town for the necessary amenities of daily living and every week he'd see Mimi standing on a corner, working. Although he never enlisted her services in that regard, he did often stop to speak with her and on more than one occasion, gifted her with a lovely bouquet. Over time their friendship grew and quickly blossomed into something more. Now he was making more frequent trips into town and delighting Mimi with gifts of wine ... of cheese ... and finally, his heart. Eight months later they married, much to the chagrin of his immediate family who saw my mother as nothing more than a common street walker. Truth be told, however, there was much more to Mimi than met the eyes--more on this later.Four years later, with a flourishing vineyard and winery, my father and mother, after continuous attempts to create a beautiful child and meeting with no success, were blessed with myself. I was born into this world on a chilly winter night, the winds howling outside the windows, pounding against the reinforced doors, stirring up wisps of snow and creating heaping drifts. I grew up under the heavy hand of my father, the training to become a successful vintner his main priority. Life in the vineyard proved to be a character building experience, yet I craved more. I've seen the way hard worked bowed my father's back ... hardened his visage ... soured his attitude. I wanted something else. So, as it was, at the tender age of 18, with wine in my blood and hope in my heart, I left home and traveled to America. At first life was rough on me, but before long I made some friends and life started to turn around. I've become glamourous ... I've accrued a considerable amount of wealth ... and the rest is, as they say, history.
