你是如何找到這些產(chǎn)品的？

????我們將重點放在美國公司身上，因為這是我們想展示的東西。但是，如果有一些獨特的東西與我們款待的國家之間有某種紐帶，可能是某位釀酒商或某家公司的某個重要人物是該國的后裔。它需要進行很多的調(diào)研，但同時也會有很多人會主動找到我們。他們說：“嗨，我聽說你們正在做這個。讓我來告訴你，我有什么和我能提供什么。”我們一直很開放，我們歡迎新點子和新人。

人們怎么聯(lián)系你？

????他們打電話。我們的禮賓辦公室有一部公開電話，并通過我們的禮儀辦公室。很多情況下，這些電話來自出色的供應商，不僅僅是葡萄酒，還有其他很多公司。我們一直對新想法持開放態(tài)度，我認為這是我們應當做的事情。我們在這個辦公室所做的是向外國訪客和到訪我國的外交官介紹美國的精華。我們想邀請這樣的公司進來，這樣我們可以給這些公司一個展示的集會。這是我們努力的目標。

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.
