The ice cream was good (though I don't think I ate all of mine), but the real dessert was the total tourist experience of sitting on the plaza at midnight in summer and soaking in the night life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-63119122673772002082007-07-16T17:28:00.000-04:002007-07-16T17:28:00.000-04:00Oh, no.

Lynch just gets a lot of airtime and there are lots of other worthy importers who don't get the same attention as he does.

They're fantastic and they don't seem to get as much attention as they deserve, maybe because they don't have the Kermit Lynch machine behind them. His Chenas Quartz is unlike any other Beaujolais I've had...hAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-56189323686217617262007-07-16T11:08:00.000-04:002007-07-16T11:08:00.000-04:00Hiya Jack - I should have known it would be you! H...Hiya Jack - I should have known it would be you! How did the wines hold up over the years? Supposedly a young drinking type of wine. Are you going to open the last bottle this summer? I am curious to hear about it.<BR/><BR/>Hey Kitch!!! Long time no hear. I suppose that gallivanting about Spain eating at a million tavernas might prevent me from browsing blogs too. Good to see you back, and I really enjoyed reading about your Spain adventure, by the way. My favorite bit was how after two meals at two different bars, completely stuffed, you guys got ice cream for dessert before bed. Impressive endurance on your part. <BR/><BR/>Glad the Beaujolais Challenge is working for you. See you around...Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-20365961641514741102007-07-15T21:16:00.000-04:002007-07-15T21:16:00.000-04:00Hi there.
