You're so funny, Margaret! Must really be great to be Barb since she's
getting all the congrats *and* gifts days ahead of the actual day!
I'm betting Surdyk's in Minneapolis could order that wine if she likes it.

I enjoyed it very much, and will enjoy it again. And again. And again.
And again. And once again. :-)

I can empathize. We spent *hours* walking around the zoo on Monday. It was
hot and by the end of the afternoon our knees were worn plumb out. We had a
good time anyway. Saw lots of BIG kitty cats :)
Monday night was the never-arrived pizza order so I made an omelet for us
and bacon and toast.

You are a good friend to go ahead and prepare something for both of you even
though you didn't feel like it.

LOL Okay...
Dinner tonight is probably going to be a veggie stir fry. Zucchini,
broccoli, garlic, onion, maybe some corn. Nothing fancy.

So, did you taste the wine and how was it? Terrific, I bet and from
now on you will try to track down the same kind, which will not be easy.
I will wait until Saturday to mention your Birthday. :o)

It's amazing how many countries there are that make wine... and ship it to
the USA. I've had wine from 29 different countries plus the USA. Strangely
enough, Slovakia is not on the list on countries I've tried, but that might
just be an oversight. I have had wine from Slovenia, though. My most recent
additions to the list were Mexico, Brazil, and Georgia (former USSR).
