There you go! That's using your head. I drink a single large cup a day,
no caffeinated sodas, occasionally tea. Coffee is recommended for
asthmatics. I kind of thought anyone who had ever been to college knew that
drinking a whole lot of caffeine makes you feel bad.

I haven't heard of The Little Penguin. Can you find Turning Leaf in
your stores? You might like it better than Beringer. I can't
guarantee it though, because I'm the one who thinks the wines I like
taste different when I'm out of state.

I was talking about Robert Mondavi, not Woodbridge - but you're right

Not all white zins are fizzy or at least they didn't start off being
made that way. I can't say if the Mondavi white zin is fizzy or not
because I've had too many fizzy white zins to want to try more.

<lol> As a general rule, the best wines are exported. :-)
If I can ever get back to Cana Cellars, we might want to try a wine
exchange...

Meanwhile, the wild spring onions are finally "setting" so I'm saving
some sets for you for planting.

Bury them shallow in the ground near a good water source and they will
come up next early March. Eat them before they bloom or they lose
flavor! You may want to let the first set go entirely so you can
increase your batch size the first year.

I'll also send you another Kombucha culture along with some of the red
wine vinegar that I personally made with it. It works quite well. Try
to keep your husband from tossing this one please. <g>

Yes, but it's not a "go to" wine for me. I'm not knocking that price
range, btw.

You have to go a long way to beat the value of Ozzy wines like "Little

Ooops, sounds like wild onions won't like my yard. I have no "good
water source", just an automatic sprinkling system. I can't grow mint
here either because it's just not damp enough.

That man is a freak when it comes to keeping the refrigerator clean!
I think he's relaxing about it though, because I had to toss out a
small acorn squash yesterday. Guess I have to explicitly show him how
to cook them. I thought it was a no brainer.

I like The Little Penguin but not Yellow Tail! Most Yellow Tail wines
don't taste very good to me.

Hm. Near a faucet maybe? Or throw some hand watering at them
occasionally. They are pretty forgiving, but we originally got our start
from them growing near a river bank. I have a very small leak in my
outdoor faucet that keeps one area of my wall side damp.

You may want to use a large pot then.

They will show nothing until the proper season so don't get discouraged.

<lol> This will be a science project. :-) I have a very large culture
that belongs to me personally growing in a 1 gallon jar of Apple Juice.
The apple vinegar it's making is most divine! After 30 days, it
started out as a sparkling Apple cider and had not turned to vinegar yet.

Kombucha seems to really like Apple juice. It's making it grow.
You may want to consider keeping it alive in some instead of using white
vinegar. The last time I did this, I kept it at room temp in Apple
juice for 3 months and dad was happy to remove a couple of baby cultures
from it.

You have to understand that Om up there has a plethora of chronic health
"issues", from what she's said a goodly amount of them apparently stem from
her lack of exercise, morbid obesity, etc...

She also appears to be somewhat of a hypochondriac, so...

Not only is our one domestic coffee defended by US and Hawaiian state
protections, but coffee in general does not need a lot of, or even
*any* pesticides. Only idiots rail against coffee. Kona coffee is a
much prized commodity. Myself, I have a thing for Indonesian coffees.

Coffee makes people smarter.

US grown coffee is the only coffee I'd drink now after consulting the
gastroenterologist for that very reason. :-) Our ag laws don't apply to
Columbia.

Coffee has been relegated to "treat" status for me at this point.

Cea's coffee is the best I have ever tasted, and I am a

Last I heard, Turning Leaf is Gallo. Some people don't buy Gallo on

My understanding is that Woodbridge is the second label for Robert
Mondavi, just as CK Mondavi is the second label for Charles Krug.
Charles Krug is owned by the Mondavis. There was a huge battle between
Robert Mondavi on one side, and his mother and brother on the other. It
went on in court for years. I don't think anybody won.

I remember that. Robert was either fired or he quit. That's why he
set up his own wine production and label. I think he was ultimately
the winner because he went on to partner with big French names and
produced Opus 1 among others.

It's still Gallo. I'm not boycotting grapes anymore.

Coffee *is* good for you! Posting before having my morning coffee may
explain some of my dumber mistakes :-) Actually, I drink two mugs of
coffee each day (what my coffee maker calls 4 cups.)

I never said I did not love coffee. ;-) My choice would be a good Kona
any day of the week.

Just because it does not agree with ME does not mean that nobody should
drink it, but those with GI problems may want to at least rethink it as
a DAILY beverage. I've yet to talk to a single Gasrotenterologist (MD)
that thinks differently.

Kona is special. IMHO it's not in the same class as Columbian coffee.
Not by any road!

You are correct. Kona is one of the few elite Specialty Coffees and
has been for over 170 years.
