concept of terroir

[Thomas]

Gee Bucko, I thought the wink character at the end of the sentence would indicate my sarcasm.

As far as I'm concerned--we should get rid of winemakers (at least in most of CA, OZ and in the garages of Bordeaux) so that the wines can be left alone to express terrano. Well, maybe that's too extreme, but close, no?

Scoop,

We finally finished the kitchen remodel--the floor took a year for us to come to an agreement, and I'm still not happy with the compromise...but it is done. Now, when I am cooking, I do not have to make more than one step and a half to get from the stovetop to the sink, to the fridge, to the convection, to the dishwasher (which is situtated so that there is no bending to open its door).

Can't believe I didn't remodel the kitchen first thing 22 years ago--wait a minute: the winery took all my money 20 years ago...
