(The hook was I stopped emailing the round up of our formal tastings)<BR/>5) Poker and single malt scotch have been discarded like an old flame, as wine has become my one, true love.<BR/>More eloquent than I, and glad I gave you the kick in the pants.

In some funny way, through your blog, I have opened my eyes to Loire and Burgandy wines. As a matter of fact, you have inspired me to start my own blog to record wines I tasted.<BR/>AndrewRougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-81466064965069531852007-04-25T14:46:00.000-04:002007-04-25T14:46:00.000-04:00Thanks Marcus - very kind of you indeed.
