It's not an attempt to mimic California, it's not a matter of ridiculing our beer-drinking friends and neighbors. Frankly it's more important to celebrate the joy of food and fellowship regardless of the specific foods or beverages. <br /><br />As I said, more on this subject later...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-90229026317608986922010-01-21T22:03:09.855-08:002010-01-21T22:03:09.855-08:00Way to go on 5 years!

I've enjoyed the conversation this year; the exchange of comments; the mutual respect for food, bad movies, whisky, wine, and song.<br /><br />Very humbled by the mention. I can vouch for the quality of those other Georgia boys (check out atlantawineguy.com too), and I'm eager to check out the other regional blogs! Also, love the idea of a "southern wine" logo!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188665746443591632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-78917985087886008472010-01-21T21:56:45.273-08:002010-01-21T21:56:45.273-08:00Sam,
