after this post. I am four posts away from 5000...I need four questions...

make them good ones...

I do - I was just there yesterday for a wine tasting.

I was in Napa on Sunday for tastings... Cakebread did 7 different wines in theirs! 10 dollar tasting with a souvenir glass! whoa!

what's your fave?

I manage a wine and liquor department at a safeway so I get invited to industry tastings quite often which is fun. I tasted some nice stuff yesterday - the Clos du Val Napa Cab was really, really good. Actually, I tasted a lot of excellent cabs in particular.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite wine because so much depends on my mood, or the weather, or what I'm eating, etc. For hot summer days, a Pinot Grigio, nicely chilled. Winter nights by the fire, a cozy Merlot or a Pinot Noir. With a spaghetti dinner, a bold cabernet. I love a good Australian Shiraz and I find that California Syrahs are also good but different, though it's the same grape. And a good, dry chard is always tasty.

Wine is fun.

we are in the wine club, and I love everything they send us, except the chardonnay's, but napa is not the place for a really great chardonnay, imo.

my other favorite, which i only have had a taste of, can't find a bottle to save my life, is a chilean wine, Neuvo Mundo, 2001 Cab. OMG. so good.

well, not really. I was probably in

Texas
Oklahoma
Kansas
New York
Ohio
Kentucky
or
California

depends on when you might have been looking. :loveya:

my appendix ruptured that year, I was planning a wedding, and the fiance travelled 120 days of that year, I was very lonely. and I was there for selection 2000.

columbus sucked, I hated the north side, where we lived. Red voter country.

Columbus, on the North Side, is yuppie ville to the max...

My brother lives there......

I wish you would have landed in Cleveland, much better, more atmosphere, in fact, you can see it when they clean out the blast furnaces.....

it sucks. but it seems sunny. I haven't had to turn on the ac or heater, so I bet it's nice out.

they went off to their forever homes in September...I miss them terribly!

"Can't nobody here play this game?"

I can't think of a response! except that this is 5001!!!!!!!!!

:woohoo:

( i am always flattered when the Magistrate graces my thread with a comment, thanks be to you!)

It is true there really is no answer to it: it was the heartfelt cry of Casey Stengel, a classic era baseball player, and later manager, who lived to be saddled with the first year of the New York Mets, on watching some calamatous mis-play by the wretched crew that inaugurated that franchise, which remains, if memory serves, the worst season record in baseball history....

:woohoo:

I think this makes me legit, I am heading to GD to flaunt my legit-ish-ness around... surely I won't be called a freeper now, right?

:rofl:

I have 10 grand now and I bet they'd still call me a freeper. Either that or send me right back to the Lounge.

:hug:

Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?

:party: Here's to 5000 more, and to your good health and good fortune. :party:

And since I reply to all your posts, why don't I have 5000 yet? :rofl:
