    Thanks again GV! I learned a lot from this one!

    As for the question of the day….hmmmm. I would like to share a glass of wine with Jesus…I’d have a lot to talk about and Jesus seems to have loved wine so I’m sure he wouldn’t mind….

  • QOD: I’d really, REALLY like to have a glass of wine with my old man, who died of a sudden massive heart attack in 1999. He never got to meet his granddaughters, and that kills me to this day. It’s his love of wine that rubbed off on me.

    QOD – My grandpop who was from Italy (not alive) and my brother (alive). It sure would be a blast if the 3 of us could share a bottle (or 3) of the local wine while admiring the views of Tuscany from our villa balcony and listening to grandpop tell stories of the old world.

  • Big shout out to Don from the WV. Get well buddy.

  • RandyB

    I’d like to share a bottle of wine with Don tonight…anything we can do to help make him feel and get better soon. I always enjoy drinking wine with my buddies in the Walnut Creek Crew. Not only do we analyze and critique the wine, by the end of the evening we have solved most of the world’s problems. My wife and I don’t share the same tastes in wine, but we have been known to sip a few margaritas. That sounds real good about now.

    Ciao
