My Long, Lost Interview With Kelly Fleming

Back in March, Paul Martin’s American Bistro featured an exclusive dinner event with winemaker Kelly Fleming.  Kelly — wife of restaurateur Paul Fleming — was on hand to mingle with guests and discuss the wines from her estate that would be sampled that evening.

Before the guests showed up, I met with Kelly to chat about the business of wine making and other topics.  Being the genuine, easy to talk to person that she is, Kelly and I had a great conversation.  I jotted down her responses to my planned and spontaneous questions while my photographer, Annalise, snapped pictures.  I thought about recording our talk but didn’t set anything up.

I wish I had recorded the interview because I ended up losing my notes!  Bah.  How embarrassing.

Fortunately, the pictures were readily available.  I figured the least I could do is share a couple photos along with thanks to Kelly — for taking the time for me to interview her — and Annalise for taking the pictures.  Cheers!
