Yessiree, I agree about the fruit of the grapes

[Guest guest]

Ms Pat,

I agree on the occasional glass of wine compared to the high

octane beverages. A nice chilled concord grape or blushing

Zinfandel will do. From childhood I have my cooking preferences in

the cream sherry and amontillado flavors. Those I get from my

favorite market...some guy named " Joe " ...for much less than the high

priced importers. These come from the same Jerez region in España

and aged in the same casks. A little dash with those sauteed

portobello and/or shiitake makes a wonderful aroma.

Besides, my doctor would be a bit perplexed if I informed him I

was giving up pistachios and sunflower seeds for my health. 8^)

LOL Brandy also comes from grapes of course - although it has a little help . .

..

I'm not prudish about alcohol - I just don't do any of it any more. Not for now,

anyway ;=) And now that I'm out of practice . . . well, I prefer not to be

tempted.

They have, however, convincingly shown that a glass or two a day has distinct

health benefits.

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)
