你是如何找到這些產(chǎn)品的？

????我們將重點(diǎn)放在美國(guó)公司身上，因?yàn)檫@是我們想展示的東西。但是，如果有一些獨(dú)特的東西與我們款待的國(guó)家之間有某種紐帶，可能是某位釀酒商或某家公司的某個(gè)重要人物是該國(guó)的后裔。它需要進(jìn)行很多的調(diào)研，但同時(shí)也會(huì)有很多人會(huì)主動(dòng)找到我們。他們說(shuō)：“嗨，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)你們正在做這個(gè)。讓我來(lái)告訴你，我有什么和我能提供什么。”我們一直很開(kāi)放，我們歡迎新點(diǎn)子和新人。

人們?cè)趺绰?lián)系你？

????他們打電話。我們的禮賓辦公室有一部公開(kāi)電話，并通過(guò)我們的禮儀辦公室。很多情況下，這些電話來(lái)自出色的供應(yīng)商，不僅僅是葡萄酒，還有其他很多公司。我們一直對(duì)新想法持開(kāi)放態(tài)度，我認(rèn)為這是我們應(yīng)當(dāng)做的事情。我們?cè)谶@個(gè)辦公室所做的是向外國(guó)訪客和到訪我國(guó)的外交官介紹美國(guó)的精華。我們想邀請(qǐng)這樣的公司進(jìn)來(lái)，這樣我們可以給這些公司一個(gè)展示的集會(huì)。這是我們努力的目標(biāo)。

How do you find out about these products?

????We focus on American companies because that's what we want to showcase. But then there's something unique in the link with the country that we are hosting -- so maybe its wine maker or somebody significant in that company is of that country's heritage. It's a lot of research, but also, many people just come to us. They say 'Hey, I heard you're doing this. Let me tell you what I have and what I can offer.' We're always open and welcome to new ideas and looking at new people.

How do people contact you?

????They call. We have an open line in our ceremonials office and through our general protocol office. And many times they're from great vendors, not only for wines but also a variety of other companies. We're always open to new ideas; I think that's what we should be doing. What we should be doing here in this office is introducing to our foreign visitors, and to the diplomats that come to our country, the best of America. We want to invite that in so we can showcase these companies. That's what we are trying to do.
