Great Saumur

Nice notes, Scoop, thanks. And happy b'day to both our wives - yesterday was Debra's, too. We traveled through thick fog and drizzle the 15 miles or so to Ristorante Grisinni in San Antonio, where she had cheese ravioli in a light cream sauce, and I the grilled red snapper with 'chokes, garlic and tomatoes. We each had only a glass of house wine, due to the lousy driving conditions - she a Folinari Cab and I a non-descript Pinot Grigio. The wines were unremarkable, but the food - incredible! And because we visit frequently, they gave us a gift-wrapped one kilo Italian fruitcake to take home. Delightful people, and a fabulous restaurant!
