| Jean, Jean, Jean . . . oh my goodness, what can I say here. French wines? French culture? The very fact that the studies, from France, have proved that the aspect in a red wine, dans le vin rouge, cette parfait pour le corps (sadly my French is poor . . c'est mal) maintains one's vigor and does not let one obtain a corpus maximus. But, now, allow me to think back on the repast of Thanksgiving . . . did we have a wine from France . . . give me a few moments. No, this year we did not. However, I shall be extremely happy to visit once again to France to check up on the wines. But, as an aperitif, we did have a lovely French cognac flavored with vanilla. And, I too, here on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, north of San Francisco, toast all you lovely folks that I have so enjoyed over the past few years. To your health? Jack

I join Paul in wishing you an happy day but I can hardly believe you when you write "And, it is always a delight how international we are." seeing that you did not offer any French wine to your friends ;-). Is that a side-effect of the pitiful economical globalization we are living now ? When you come to France, I'll be happy to share with you what is the wine culture in this country ! Just for now, I gonna pour myself a glass of my local Jura wine (white Savagnin) , and I raise it for all the list members from everywhere in the world, hoping that we can exchange our wines tastings as well as our alternative processes pleasures :-) Cheers from France Jean ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, November 24, 2006 9:38 PM Subject: Re: Happy Thankgiving!

Dear Paul, I actually forgot to say there was an Australian Shiraz as well.And, it is always a delight how international we are. Cheers to you

I'm going to echo Mark, who aint not turkey.We'll have about 16-18 for the meal tonight, along with some fine Italian reds, a few New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, and some of California's finest. Of course, we will be eating as well. Best of this holiday to all . . . though, a friend, a Mandan, told me, "Jack, for us it is a day of mourning."
