Two nice ones from WA -- Hedges

[Thomas]

As I said, ww, Hedges is a consistently good producer, but I am not as rich as you carpetbaggers (whaddapun!). More importantly, I hate the direction taken on the Left Coast, which is to produce wines only for those whose income allows for three cleaning ladies, a butler and seven expensive dogs (or is that wives/husbands).

Guys like Roberto and me truly want people, all people to have access to the stuff, and we want it to be good stuff too. And then more people will drink wine and then my income will rise so that I could have all that domestice help--or seven wives.

Bucko, if you do not appreciate Italian wine your genes must have been passed along by a nasty group of invaders on the peninsula in the third and fourth centuries. And all along I thought you had taste...
