I've never picked or seen anyone picking grapes. A fascinating and tasty post. <BR/>In the comedy "Sideways" with Paul Giamatti one is left with the respect and love of the grape and wine.<BR/>Blicky, since I've never attended such an occasion, is it all day? Is there a certain time it begins? Do we meet at Cynthia's? <BR/>Please excuse my ignorance but don't want to assume anything, and find out I had it all wrong. Thank you. And again, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and having "una festa meravigliosa!"<BR/>Petra :))petra michelle; Whose role is it anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03474448747236205303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222517380293917454.post-50065922513052391642008-11-10T19:16:00.000-08:002008-11-10T19:16:00.000-08:00You know, I typically have a strict policy against...You know, I typically have a strict policy against "learning" anything "erudite" on anyone's "blog," and yet...when I visit Casa de Blicky I always stagger happily away afterward with the nagging but not unpleasant "feeling" that I've had "knowledge" imparted to me.<BR/><BR/>I dig it.Anna Leflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968276973881720329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222517380293917454.post-1580098774042863932008-11-10T17:35:00.000-08:002008-11-10T17:35:00.000-08:00Blicky, I'm so excited about our trip to Italy wit...Blicky, I'm so excited about our trip to Italy with the gang. I'm so happy you are also going. Avery and I will be getting the music and art together. We must be entertained and of course, we all need to see beautiful art. I can't wait for Avery to meet Blicky. I hope you have a great week. trishNana Trish is Living the Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401202649082669911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222517380293917454.post-54908322932940108402008-11-10T16:38:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:38:00.000-08:00Great post!!!!

My 5th grade flute teacher was a black bird with a gold background and a high alcohol content.<BR/>And.... I saw you joined us on the Nanny Goats Torture Ride and Fun Park.

Cynthia knows whereof I speak. It's just not worth the night-sweats. Although, I suppose, I'll be up all night anyway, so what the heck!

(that and Campari, Amaretto, grappa....okay that's enough!).<BR/><BR/>I really like your illustrations in this post. Our day in Italy is going to be so much fun. So glad you're along for it all, and rest assured I will give you one of the best 'cameras' in my apartment in Rome!Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222517380293917454.post-2447639849917137512008-11-10T05:35:00.000-08:002008-11-10T05:35:00.000-08:00Thank you for the good word about our Grape Escape...Thank you for the good word about our Grape Escape! I'm delighted that you and Blicky will be there -especially since Blick obviously knows the proper method for cutting grapes from the vine. He'll be a great help at the Muserino Vineyards. This is a wonderful post! What I know about wines would partially fill a 3x5 index card if I print big. Now I can fill in the other half of the card. I'll dash off and find a good bottle of chianti to go with my fava beans at dinner tonight. fafafafafa!MuseSwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999288873532715380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222517380293917454.post-12892896823285705002008-11-09T22:18:00.000-08:002008-11-09T22:18:00.000-08:00Hmmm, perhaps that is why my neighbors' rooster is...Hmmm, perhaps that is why my neighbors' rooster is crowing at early, odd hours.
