wow, that was yours ?
I remember the stuff from a wine tasting session once and I ordered a bottle or two because it was really good.
And I was irritated about the origin at first glance...

cheers, Tom
amazing indeed ...

astroman,

Hey, I WISH those were "mine."

I recently learned that our region is naturally immune to the viruses/fungi that have wiped out so many grape-producing regions, due to the soil composition. Combine that with a nearly perfect climate for grape maturation (in that part of our state anyway, we have a broad range of climate and geography here), and we are gaining a big reputation as one of the best producers world-wide (as in top 5). It is spreading to the wines that we produce as well, although that is a longer process that involves generations of experience to gain.

Not that I'm proud or anything. ~8^)

Slainte,
Cory

hehe, this reminds me of when I just joined planetz. great vibes!

as for me, I'm enjoying some pinot grigio from Palatinate (germany) region. I'm very much a heavy bordeaux person (don't mind tannin) but man... a cold, light white on a summer evening is awesome.

Hey, why is everyone being so nice?
Oh....it's the WINE.

A French white burgundy or bordeaux, with some fresh shellfish (lobster, crab etc)..just can't be beat!

some sweet white with Foie Gras and toasts is a classic as well.

and oysters "Just can't be beat", but maybe by some doe meat or Calf kidney with truffle sauce and an excellent Pessac-Leognan Bordeaux.

I'm close to veggie here, although it isn't by conscious choice (or 'save the animals' etc) so much as just what makes me feel the best these days. I seem to only be able to tolerate meat raw anymore (sushi, which I only enjoy at the coast fresh off the boat) even though a decade ago I was full on high protein workout boy biking twice a day and eating my fill of chicken, fish, bbq beef & fajitas. During the warmth this summer I seem to be mostly wanting to eat vegan, just raw nuts and fresh veggies. I sadly made a HUGE pot of pesto pasta the other night (lots of fresh veggies & kamut/quinoa based noodles etc) because my wife loves pasta/carbs, and am having the hardest time wanting to eat it myself (which is necessary to make sure it's eaten before it's spoiled.)

I think my favorite curt of meat would probably have to be veal cutlets...thin, lean, cook in practically seconds...add any one of a miraid of sauces...mmmmmm

I am a foul Bastard when it comes to my favorite.
There's nothing tastier than grilled Salsiccia ( sal-zeet-sa ) or Louisianna Andouille.
I realize this is the charred flesh of a Pig but I don't give a damn.
I enjoy life and food is especially crucial for a festive frame of mind.
To eat like this one only needs to excercise so the foul by products can be passed through the system quickly.
Eventaully I wiil become a FAT BASTARD but until then I shall be the fierce warrior of keyboards.
Besides all of my synths are FAT BASTARDS and the idea of a fit middle aged stage whore doesn't seem appropraite.
I look forward to being a Humpty Dumpty.....On Halloween I can go trick or treating and put a giant letter A on my belly so I can be AbdoMan...............Ankyu...

Christ...I just lost 10 lbs this month.... (I really needed to...trying to get into fighting weight for the rig)

or just get a workout WHILE setting up the rig, and then get into more shape by actually PLAYING on the rig

I got into pretty good shape the past few months putting a theater show together - crawling under tables, running cables, moving gear, hiking up and down the incline theater aisle, etc. - all contributed to me losing about 10 lbs and firming up the flab.

Now, where were we in this thread? Oh yeah, kissin' everybody's ass
