		<description>Congratulations Jim,

Healdsburg just became an even better destination.  I am sure you will make a great impact on your new diggs.  We will need to come visit.</description>

		<description>Jim,

    Life has a funny way of giving back to those who are worthy. I never doubted for one moment that you would land back on your feet and now look where you are! I&#039;m happy to see the Jim we all know is happy and thriving again! You really deserve it. You&#039;re one of the best networkers out there and you&#039;re driven and passionate about your cause. They should clone you because every winery should have someone like you standing behind them. I&#039;m very excited to come to Michel-Schlumberger in three weeks! (I can&#039;t believe it only three weeks away now!) It&#039;s going to be GREAT!</description>

		<description>Hey Jim- Thanks for making our guest experience top tier. Never would have known it was only your fourth day on the job! We&#039;ll be back for one of the Friday evening events and a tour of the vineyard.</description>

		<description>Jim, to say I&#039;m excited, elated, overjoyed for you would be an understatement. I&#039;ve always believed that you can only be truly happy if you do what you love. I admire not only your passion but your perseverance. I spent a lot of time doing business in Japan, and have a lot of memories. I sold a winery to a Japanese company run by a family where the very old Chairman said to me in response to my asking how the business had survived and then thrived after WWII, &#039;Fall seven times, stand up eight.&#039; This describes you to a &#039;T&#039;. Can&#039;t wait until your first tweetup.
Congrats

		<description>Jim, you are probably the most professional, enjoyable, amazing winery rep I know - aside from Judd himself ;-)

I couldn&#039;t be more excited for you if I had the job myself!  Wait a minute...I KNEW i was missing something!

You will most definitely ensure that the consummate consumer experience is achieved, and I cannot wait to visit M-S in all her glory under your Sapphire Sceptor.

Best wishes and kick some...Rhone!</description>
