I no longer drink wine casually, but my best take would be maybe a nice young Cotes-du Rhone or Minvervois from a reputable maker; Pinot Noir just doesn't seem right, and Butterfly's list simply isn't that sophisticated. I usually drink Tsing Tsao with "Chinese" food: Hunan, Szechuan, Cantonese, etc.<BR/><BR/>I got a couple of very nice 2002 Nuits Saint-Georges bottles about a month ago, so I'm not sneering at Pinot Noir; I'm maybe getting fussier?<BR/><BR/>Only July? A slower deeper soak in the riches I'm discovering through you and da Padre and Kiefer and who knows who all else seems like a good approach. Does it sound appealing to me? Surely you are joking.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the diversion; I'm waiting on a call from Maman's attending Physician.johniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635403219973766022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-65196323493218438292007-07-24T19:33:00.000-04:002007-07-24T19:33:00.000-04:00Well, it's a busy life and we barely notice our ne...Well, it's a busy life and we barely notice our neighbors, let alone saints on a church calendar... <BR/><BR/>Hey, do you think I should write that little July women saints book?<BR/><BR/>How was your birthday? Did you really have duck?

Why do we notice these Saints so little, other than being female and Swedish?johniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635403219973766022noreply@blogger.com
