  1. Hi Robin,

    My name is Sybil yang, and I am an Assistant Professor at San Francisco State University. I’m currently writing a textbook module for Prentice Hall on wine list pricing, and would like to include a section on your work with the Osteria L’Intrepido award. I have already written the section, and would need your formal permission to include it in the textbook. If you are interested in seeing the textbook module, and what I would like to include and reference in the section on your work, please email me at: sybil@sfsu.edu, or sy229@cornell.edu. You can also reach me by phone at 510-381-4410.

    Thank you!
    -Sybil

    I recently founded The Lenox Wine Club. We have so far tasted “heavy reds and whites”. I both cases, a 3 liter box wine won – http://www.morssglobalfinance.com/judgments-of-paris-princeton-and-lenox-part-2/.

  3. Hi Robin! We write you because when you visited us in Bereziartua (Astigarraga, Pais Basque), you were interested in our products, in our cider.

    So, we would like to know if you have thought about us and the possibility of collaborate with us or do some work together.

    Waiting for your news.

    Cheers!
