Dialogue
E: Ugh, Quite a day!
L: Is everything OK?
E: Oh, Just a little tired. Are you good?
L: I'm fine. How did you feel talking to everyone today?
E: It was interesting―I think when you're facing collectors like I am, it's all about sales figures. How many bottles of which expensive wine did you sell month...that kind of talk.
L: I see.
E: You tend to brush over the grassroots side of wine. But all the prestigious brands we know today—they all had humble beginnings. I think today, I was reminded how people like Pascal want to support new，upcoming wineries and protect the wine industry in the long run.
L: Yes, he's very passinate about supporting startups. I think it's because he also struggled starting up that restaurant.
E: Also, he was very polite, but clearly, he wants more variety in our natural wine lineup!
