A quote from the book "Wine Drinking for Inspired thinking".. Bought at Borders closeout for $2...

When the great poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe was asked what three treaures he would take with him to the proverbial desert island for a year, he responded; "My collection of poetry books, a beautiful, intelligent women, and an ample supply of Chateau Haut-Brion."

He was then asked:"What if you could only bring two? Which of the three would you leave behind?" Goethe didn't hesitate: "The poerty."

The next question of course was:"What would you leave behind if only one was allowed?" Goethe reflected for a moment and then responded:"It depends on the vintage."

Love it!!

But how much wine would constitute an "ample supply" for a year? Would assume that to be about 30 cases, no? Not bad, if no guests dropped by.....
