The immoderate love of wine can result in a certain abuse. But in the case of Mimi, Fifi and Glouglou, it's not even that they drink too much, but that they drink all the time. They only care about « La dégustation », it haunts their every dream, it is a passion that rules above all else.
To taste the wines, to compare them, to put into words those fleeting and elusive sensations and above all, the holy grail... to recognise a wine through blind tasting, its appellation, its vintage, the vigneron and, if possible, the Christian name of his sister- in-law.
Alas, this exercise maintains its own deceptions. Mimi, Fifi and Glouglou will demonstrate ignorance, presumption, bad faith, continued failure, but this never discourages them, because opening a bottle in the expectation of what surprises it may hold, is one of the most delicious pleasures in existence.
Michel Tolmer
Born in 1960, Paris. Studied graphic arts. Then the Bacchic arts.
Stalking the zinc bars of the capital,
One sees the bottles and their authors parading by.
In the course of these encounters, portraying wine - becomes the most natural thing in the world.
So Michel Tolmer becomes intoxicated on images, posters, labels, pictures As if it were still the first... drink.
