Wines--now there's a subject I could devote many words and much time to. It was no coincidence that I move up to Sonoma County wine country. Lots of good cabernets, zinfandels, pinot noirs, syrahs, and petite sirahs grown here. Also chardonnays, but for whites I personally prefer the rieslings and gewurztraminers from Washington and Oregon. I love the German whites but they have gotten really pricey.

I used to work for Paul Masson and a couple of wine stores years ago. My wife now works for Korbel Champagne Cellars.

Would there be any interest in a kilted wine tour up here one of these days?
