Brad Nichols’s Summary

Brad L. Nichols has a track record of success in the Wine Industry. Acquiring Beers, Spirits and Wines and introducing them into new markets is a Passion. Brad believes 'Brand-Builders' and 'Sales Goals' can never replace Dionysian Artificers.

About Me:
"Eager young men, believe me. There are only two ways of winning: to play hearts or to cheat. To cheat is hard. Once caught, the cheat is lost. The great race of crooks is never caught; they are the men in power, cabinet ministers, famous painters, poets, novelists, musicians, actors. I admire them. How could I admire a cheat caught and clapped in jail? He has missed his calling. To play hearts is simple. A man must have one, that is all. You believe yourselves to be heartless. You do not look at your cards properly. Your heart is hidden in dread of ridicule, in obedience to an old criminal code: 'Voici venir le temps des assassins.' Show your hearts and you will win. Voici venir le temps de l'amour." - Jean Cocteau, Professional Secrets

Who I'd Like To Meet:
"Please let me know beforehand, And I will come out to meet you..." - Li Po You Ask: "How did they meet?"
"By chance, like everybody..." - Diderot
(The Literary Mistress Chuckles)
"I would love to meet a philosopher like Nietzsche on a train or boat and to talk with him all night. Incidentally, I don’t consider his philosophy long-lived. It is not so much persuasive as full of bravura." - Chekhov
Sacher-Masoch and de Sade preparing the morning lamb in Brillat-Savarin's kitchen while Hemingway and Liebling are in the backyard boxing, chiming in between jabs and hooks, "What are they doing to poor creature? Get your gun, I'll get my pen, we'll settle this. "
Vanessa Hoelsher on a flight from Tuscany to Nevada in preparation of the Inspired Madness.
And all those who show, and share, their Hearts.
