Magnificent, Denny. Wines, etal. Have a drink to my good health. I'm 80 today. And proud of it. I'll lift my glass and clink with you. Have a great time with your friends.

Posted by: Glenmore on September 16, 2009 07:31 PMBoy, I remember the days when I was able to do a round or 2 with my friends and wines of this caliber. I've been able to hang onto my Williams-Selyem and Ridge subscriptions but cut down the allotments. Losing 2 homes to forclosure will do that to you.
My Sandy celebrated her 70th on the 15th, we had a great W&S 2006 Feeny vinyard Zin.
Enjoy!!
