Good for you, Larry.

Actually I think JJ's views about the merits of NZ vis a vis Aussie wine shows he is not above the realms of illusion :-)

Sometimes people write to ask me if I think JJ is a Master. By the time I finish replying I think that they would feel sorry they asked as they get a long speech outlining the reasons why they shouldn't be asking or even thinking about someone's place on the Path (other than their own). But I sometimes feels like saying, 'he can't be a Master because he likes Aussie wine better than NZ wine which shows he lacks discernment and has a major blind spot' :-)

Having said that - and just between you and me - Aussie reds are wonderful (I prefer them to NZ reds on the whole) but our whites are better. St Clair is a particularly good winery and I have enjoyed the wine you sampled on more than one occasion (hic).

I am sure you must be a high initiate just on the strength of your good taste Larry ;-)

Love Glenys

Glenys,

Did you forget that you sent me a couple bottles of New Zealand wine? They were as good or better than the Aussie ones I have been drinking, but aren't available around here.

Hats off to both New Zealand and Australia!
