I don't know why this isn't considered to violate the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution.<br /><br />~EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604297838201539175.post-30969877826250306712009-04-15T20:27:00.000-04:002009-04-15T20:27:00.000-04:00Okay, you got me.

Both are very important reference works for me, particularly since the wines she chose to track in the time charts are some of my old favorites: Jean Descombes Morgon, Cos d'Estournel, Potensac, Ridge Geyserville, Beaucastel, Wynn's Cab, etc. My time lines don't always match hers, but that's the way it goes. She has a web site as well, but if I subscribed to all the web sites I would find helpful, I wouldn't have any money to buy wine.<br /><br />Among more recent books, I really enjoyed The New France by Jeffords. I'm reading Neal Rosenthal's book right now and Robert Camuto's Uncorked is on the shelf.<br /><br />I've had many good conversations on Robin Garr's Wine Lovers' Discussion Group, although I haven't been there in several years. And erobertparker.com can be useful.Fred McTaggarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568104809300139407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604297838201539175.post-62850170965291790542009-04-15T16:54:00.000-04:002009-04-15T16:54:00.000-04:00So that's where you've been hiding, Fred!
