I recommend Yehuda brand light matzah. It’s flavorful, whole wheat, branny, and delicious. Nice texture too.
What, you meant wine?
Follow your nose.

QOTD. In recent memory, the wine that most impressed me was 2005 Bunnell Family Cellars Syrah, Boushey-McPherson Vineyard, from Yakima Valley. I recommend that.

True friends are those who really know you but love you anyway.

Great story about your great grandfather. Nice to see you had some moments with him in Russia ( #1 ) and in America. Dont ever forget them. Another score for Washington state! YEA!! *gloats* That Pomum sounds delicious, I swear Ive seen them around and I know I’ve heard of them. Have to check them out someday. QOTD: Im going down the music avenue and saying Naked City. Wild jazz band that was part jazz, part avant garde, part rock, part speed metal, all insanity. John Zorn honking on his sax and Bill Frisell ripping the guitar to name a few. Great band but hard to digest. You’ve been warned.

You have some great stuff on your blog. Your insight and expertise would be a welcome addition to our new community, i hope you will consider joining 🙂 and thanks for sharing!

Gary,

Upper Left Corner Wine Company of Chicago, Illinois, became the exclusive distributor of Pomum wines in Illinois earlier this year. I am their sales rep in Chicago and just tasted the Shya red yesterday with some wine shops and restaurants. If you are in Illinois and would like to try this amazing wine, please go to our website at http://www.upperleftcorner.com and click on the “contact us” link. Wine shops and restaurants are ordering this on a “pre-order” basis only, as the winery only made about 320 cases of the 2006 vintage.

Thanks,

qotd: Alcyone Dessert wine (100% Tannat) from Uruguay.
