Of course I've never been able to afford the expensive, so-called good wine, so I can't say as I have much wine experience.<BR/><BR/>And lynn, I'd say it's probably a very very good thing you and I don't drink much.

If I ever do read it, I'll have to start over again. But I was interested in Crime and Punishment from the beginning. For me, it seems that most older books are a little slow in the beginning (first 100 pages or so) before they get interesting except for a few. I don't know very much about recent books, I hardly ever read them. The most fascinating book I ever read was The Sound and the Fury. I've never seen that writing style before. It was a challenge...a challenge that I loved! I literally couldn't put it down and was analyzing all the way through. The only bad thing is that I think most people in the world would have a huge problem reading it because some of it is written in phonetic south U.S. I'm from the south and even I had to say some of the words out loud to figure out what was been said! But it was fascinating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166667047547302522006-12-21T03:10:00.000+01:002006-12-21T03:10:00.000+01:00Stu...do you know the story of the bourgogne aligo...Stu...do you know the story of the bourgogne aligote??? this is the wine used for the drink kir!

I've drank it many, many times in restaurants and it was much cheaper ($12 per glass at one restaurant and $14 at another). And since restaurants double the price, I don't understand why the bottle is listed so high on the website. I wouldn't buy it from there.<BR/><BR/>It is very good, so I hope you can find it.

When they leave with all the wine they bought they are walking through a meadow to their car and keep falling down in the grass and when Eddie gets to the car she forgets she is in France and gets in the car on the right side as if she was in Britain and is moving her arms in the air...searching for the steering wheel that doesn't exist!!

I should tell Jeff about Clos do Val...a very good California cabernet sauvignon! So, when I arrived home, I googled it so I could include a link to it. And that's when I discovered that Clos du Val was one of the California wines in the "legendary Paris taste test" that won. I thought I had good taste! Turns out I do! LOL! I'm just kind of proud of myself because I've never studied wine but "thought" that I had a good palette...but you never know if it's true. Anyway, if you come back Mr. Jeff, try this: <A HREF="http://www.closduval.com/fastfacts/history.cfm" REL="nofollow">Clos du Val</A>. Isn't it funny that so many Californian wines have french names! I suppose that is paying hommage to all the great French wines! A kudos so to speak.
