Thank you for your interest in Provence WineZine!
You got me there for a minute! Loving the Chinese grapes…!
It was sure fun to put together! So much material to work with!
I must have missed that Tweet this morning. Thanks for sharing!
I wouldn’t want you to miss this news. There may be something for your cellar!
Is he trying to build a wall there too?!?!
If he is, I suspect he will want the French to pay for it, right?!
Do as I say, not as I do…crazy to hear this in Provence, France from our ‘Buy American Made’ president: “Day one, we will be modernizing the vineyards by ripping out all those old vines and replacing them with fresh new vines that we have sourced from China.”
Ah, you found an inconsistency in our April Fools…well done!
HeHe. You had us going there for awhile.
It was great fun to create this fiction! I suppose it is as believable as the reality of his White House caper!
This is great. Really really great. And you are sick, T, really really sick. Had me till I got to the new Chinese vines. Can just see that JA yanking out old vines though! You made my fool’s day. xxx
Yeah, as Bush 43 would say, “That was some weird shit.”
Did you mention he’s building a Printemps White House and having the French pay for it. It will be bigly.
Huge, it will be huge, too. Ah, so many directions to go with this insanity!
This fun piece is actually not that far of a stretch. Trump does own a vineyard in Virginia, though I don’t think the vines came from China.
