Seems like it would be up your alley. So lame how people can read those books and walk away thinking that things are a certain way. They are not necessarily that way at all, they just reflect the experience of that person, and if she is a bee-yotch with weird hang ups and social skills, then you're not going to get the full picture. <BR/><BR/>Great to see you around these parts - I love that your first comment is on a post from like 6 months ago...I do that too.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-84303402301304989902007-11-07T19:40:00.000-05:002007-11-07T19:40:00.000-05:00FWIW Friedrich is a bee-yotch.

I just finished her latest book on The Wines of France and it's terrible for exclusion of certain wines (going to Krug and not tastign Mesnil) and there is an angry tones about many wines and wineries. She just wrote that book so she could get free samples of wine.Lyle Fasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691042953720294290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-67627698362620088952007-11-07T19:38:00.000-05:002007-11-07T19:38:00.000-05:00Nice case!

Current releases are just so good! I will look for Jacqueline's blog, what is it called, by the way?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, see you around.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-79044383397259377812007-04-18T10:59:00.000-04:002007-04-18T10:59:00.000-04:00That has got to be the most interesting and intrig...That has got to be the most interesting and intriguing sampler case to have been assembled in the wake of the Asimov article. I certainly haven't tasted them all, but I don't believe there's a dog among them. The Bretons will be tasting their wines at a wine bar here in San Francisco next week and I hope I'll be able to make it. If you aren't familiar with it already, you would be interested in Jacqueline Friedrich's blog--she wrote the book on Loire Valley wines. (Her recent guide to French wines is also something you would find very useful.)
