 DD> Unnerstood. I remembered the Tom part and the crunchy pasta .... but,

I remember the crunchy pasta, which was different from other
versions because it was ziti rather than corkscrews (which I
prefer because they crunch more gently), and that I had a
steak, which was pretty good. I also remember that that was
my introduction to Stone Cellars wine - I had ordered something
that they were out of, so Tom came up with this, which was okay
and nothing more. When the bill came, I was surprised to see
that it was maybe $5 less than what I'd ordered. Not a huge
bargain, but I was gratified that he downsold rather than
upsold, or, worse, charged the same price as my original order.
I'd only been familiar with the regular Beringer before and
thought that this was not quite up to that standard, but, hey,
it didn't cost that much. Later the subsidiary label thing
became more prominent (or noticeable to me as my budget shrank
and was rerouted to other priorities), and not only this but
Woodbridge, Stamp of Australia, Vintner's Reserve, and others
came to my attention. These bear a faint resemblance to their
more eminent sires, in the same way that a "Workshop of
Botticelli" painting might resemble the real thing.


 DD> According to the tracking info it arrived in Lithincu, MD at 0115 this

Thanks. It may be a while before I see it, but how often
have I had to make a phone call, once a month maybe?

 ML> Congrats on the fixed fixed abode thing.
 DD> I left it rather late in life, though. Although the tin can wasn't
 DD> really a "mobile" home - no matter what it was classed as. Nor, for
 DD> that matter, a trailer.

Swisher has pretty much planted both of his trailers
but I believe keeps them registered as mobile, so then
he can insure them as vehicles rather than buildings.

 DD> 2    All-meat hot dogs; halved,

For real trailer trash, use cheap dogs with filler.
Or maybe Spam.
