i'd like to welcome everyone to my new blog! (you'll have to bear with me as this is my 1st blog so my wit may not be all there) anywhoo, i will be taking off soon to circle the pacific as i make my way to hawke's bay in new zealand to work harvest at craggy range winery. my stops enroute to the land of hobbits will be japan, taiwan, china, and australia.
first off, i'll explain the meaning behind my blog name. "les doigts dans le nez" is a french phrase that literally translates to "fingers in the nose" and is used to describe anything that is wicked easy to do (because your fingers slip so easily into your nose...sometimes without you realizing it). i learned this phrase from dimitri bazas, the winemaker at maison champy in burgundy, as he used it to describe winemaking when you start off with the highest quality grapes. kind of silly and not too funny, huh? well the phrase was sealed in my head when my friend simon steele (such a cool name) kept repeating this phrase with his oz accent and we couldn't stop laughing. so, i thought of this phrase again when i realized how simple it was to start a blog and that any joe schmo can do it. but i also think that this philosophy should extend into everyone's lives. so next time you come across a tough problem, think "fingers in the nose, baby!" and you may just come up with an easy solution that you hadn't even thought of!

what up fool
can't wait to hear all the juciy details from your adventures! They better be good!!! :)
MJ, you could explain that story, the genesis for your blogname, a million times and it would still gross me out girl! Winemaking? Fingers in your nose? I don't know. I mean it's better than thumb in your butt or head in your ass, I reckon:) but I don't want any of that around my wine. But that's just me.
I look forward with relish to your adventures. I think you'll love New Zealand. Oh, it's home to my all time favorite t-shirt: "New Zealand" (on the front) and on the back: "so many sheep, so little time!"
Some people like the shirt, some.... eh?
I think the ratio is 15 sheep to every person. I feel no need to defend knowing this statistic!!!
easy as pickin' your nose...

"les doigts dans le nez" leaves one with the image of someone hooking a two fingers up your nose to lead you around to the solution, no effort as you say... similar to being led by the hand in english.
