[Kcwhippet]

Check the Rhone section soon. We had the wines this weekend sent to us by Alexandris Nicole winery in Prosser, WA.

I've posted two under Italian and one under Best Buys in the last two days.

I heard that total wine consumption in the U.S. dropped about 90% at the beginning of this month, due to some guy in Arizonee giving up the juice. I think Greenspan is planning to take action soon....

To further aggravate my condition since the 2 weeks of this diet went so well and I still have a modicum of will-power left I've decided to go 1 more week. Promise No Sniveling. WW [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

The question is: did you lose any weight at all???

Tonight I made a fritatta of okra and baby squash with garlic, Tabasco and basil--in butter, plus some chunk-cut potatoes deep fried in olive oil.

Had it with Prieure Saint-Hippolyte 2003 Rose; Coteaux du Languedoc; a $13
syrah/grenache marvel.

Let's see, how many calories and carbohydrates was that? hmm.

[winoweenie]

As a matter of fact since the start of this latest sabbatical and then the intrduction of the South Beach Diet I've lost a total of 30 over the 5 weeks. Want to get off another 15 although I'm feeling real GOOD rite now. Another week of phase 1 sould get another 5 and then phase 2 should do it gradually over the next 3-4 months. WW (Iff'n you drop the fried potatoes off that receipe I can eat it.snort goggle)

[Kcwhippet]

Why in the world would you need to lose so much weight, WW? Keep it up and you'll be in Dave Coffaro's league - though a bit shorter.

Wow! Congrats. WW! But that seems like a lot for you to lose. Maybe you should be putting on the brakes a little.

[wondersofwine]

WW, I was wondering why you hadn't posted yet. That's a bunch of will power you have (and Georgie as well).

[Thomas]

I lose weight every night--overnight. And then I find it all back by dinner time. It's quite a nice cycle...

[hotwine]

Must have unloaded the empties from his pockets...

[Thomas]

You are too smart hotwine...you must know how much coins weigh...
