VILLEDIEU FRANCE – After a second long day of travel we find ourselves outside this tiny village in the southern Côtes du Rhône, near Gigondas and Beaumes de Venise. We’re here to celebrate a major birthday of our friend Kathy Robbins. Much more later.

MORTEFONTAINE and PARIS FRANCE – We left Mortefontaine for Paris this morning. After doing a bit of work I took the subway to the Bois de Boulogne to visit the new, highly acclaimed Fondation Louis Vuitton, a Frank Gehry structure that will house a collection in formation. The building is a triumph, Bilbao with translucent glass substituted for the titanium. I’ll be back.
