If it is a Sunday in 06 then pretty much count me in.
Naturally, we will be serving sacramental wines....
Sacramental wines are OK, but I prefer the ones from farther up the road in El Dorado County. | | | |

You know... from Sacratomatoe. | | | |

There is no E at the end of tomato. Only when it is plural do you add the E, as in "tomatoes". | | | |

| Hey, I'm a good conservative. If Dan Quayle spells "potatoe" with an "E" I can spell "Tomatoe" with an "E".
Just testing. I thought for sure I could evoke sommeone into mentioning Quayle and not just an outright correction.
You guys are too young. Where's Bud when I need him  | | | |

Hey...I remember Dan Quayle. In fact, I voted Bush/Quayle in 1988...the first Presidential election I could vote in. Too young...maybe you're too old! | | | |

| It is obvious that Mr. Quayle's relatives all think the correct spelling of potatoe is with an "E" at the end. After all their name ends with an "E". The word "Vote" ends with an "E". We could even argue that words should end with an "E". How about "wine"? Or "offline"? Even "martini" (well at least it sounds like an "E").
Listen and learne Brente from near Sacramentoe. | | | |

| OK, we've tried rain, we've tried floods, but kpak still insists on visiting the Napa Valley.
Anyone up for dinner and wine on Thursday January 26th? Place to be determined by how big a group we are. | | | |

| Put us down for a definite maybe  .
We've been without electricity since noon on 1/1/06. The 50th hour has just passed. Once we get Tricia's computer up she can check her calendar. | | | |

| If this sans-electricity thing keeps up we may have to drink about 4000 bottles tomorrow night.
Fortunately the outside temp is in the low 50s so I guess I am most worried for the cellar to get too cold. | | | |
