by Ethan Ray » Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:10 pm

I normally wouldn't post this without permission (sorry Robin! :oops:) but i didn't get a final copy of this until tonight - as Todd and Duane have spent the last few weeks in the Mediterranean working, and a good portion of this was finalized via email.

Robin - I hope posting this is okay.

I put vegetables in your desserts, white chocolate with your fish and other nonsense stuff that you think shouldn't make sense, but coax the nonsense into something that makes complete sense in your mouth. Just open your mind, mouth and eat.

No problem, Ethan! We discourage "drive-by postings" by folks who are here for no reason but to seek free advertising, but it's generally okay for active forum participants to share information. Always best to ask, but I understand that time was an issue here. :)

A 1992 Grgich Hills Chardonnay is the best single bottle of American wine I've ever drank.

Since I came down from Oregon, there's a lesson or two I've learned
Oh, oh the Pride of Cucamonga, of, of silver apples in the sun,
Yes, it's me, I'm the Pride of Cucamonga, I can see golden forests in the sun.
