A French Cartoon About Coffee

le Café - Oldelaf (english subtitles)

This little video has been all around the Internets, but I love it. I'm a huge coffee addict (Yes, even when pregnant! Egads!) and I love that this is in French avec subtitles.

There are other little cartoons as well. Enjoy!

Things To Do -- At The Alliance Francaise!

1. The Alliance Francaise is starting up again their monthly wine tastings. If you've never been to these you are missing out. I'll be skipping out this winter/spring, since pregnant women drinking wine is frowned upon in this country. But you should go!

2. If wine isn't your thing, (?!?!) then check out the talks FIAF is having with fashion designers such as Donna Karan and Diane Von Furstenburg.

Bonne chance!

I know I've Reblogged Gary Vaynerchuck's Wine Library episodes before, but today's installment is about 2004 Bordeaux. We all know how much I love Bordeaux -- I was even at a tasting at the Alliance Francaise last week -- and I need to spread the Bordeaux gospel more. If it stops just one person from drinking Yellowtail, my work will be done.

As usual, Gary explains the wine well and why everyone is so ga-ga about it.
