...and mine to him

was a bottle of this chateauneuf du pape. After a visit to Avignon to see the wonderful 'Sideways' (in which the french translation of Ben and jerry's Chunky Monkey was 'Junky Monkey') we were thirsty so we went straight from the sunlit vines of Hollywood to our very own, to discover a new and much lauded wine. The gappy toothed proprietress was delightful, came from a musical family and was keen on my idea of a baroque festival where all the alki musos I know come and play in vineyards and get paid in grapejuice, so let's drink to that, and of course, to drunken love.
