| | The levee has also broken through on the Metarie side. | Martin Wine Cellar has a huge store on Veterans Blvd | in Metarie ... It's incomprehensible. And New Orleans is just one of the affected cities. I was at Martin's on Veteran's a few months ago, little group of locals did a wine tasting. I noticed how the particular fresh hamburger served at Martin's delicatessen was creative. Visited a couple of other good wine shops too. To say nothing of people and restaurants. I just received a newsletter by post from Marisol, an eclectic restaurant on Esplanade near the river. The New Orleans dam and pump failures (I'm using the general word "dam;" it's a sub-sea-level city like some in the Netherlands) happened in the last 24 hours or so, well after the hurricane had passed. Current news reports say that the city of 500,000 has no drinking water or electricity and is on the verge of martial law. -- Max |

I normally don't steer folks to another wine site, but IF there are
some of you who want to do something for Katrina, but haven't quite gotten around to it, I'd like to dangle a little carrot in front of you. Some online friends and myself set up a little incentive program at the WLDG group at www.wineloverspage.com A $50 donation gets you entered in a pool, prizes include a mini-vertical of Meyney ('86, '89, '90), an '82 Latour (!!!!), '90 Angelus, '90 Pichon-Baron, '01 Prum goldcap Auslese, '99 CdP, '00 Leo-Barton, '00 Lynch-B, '99 Chave. So multiple chances of winning. We'll get the bottles to anywhere in US or Canada. |

Great idea, Dale:
Since I been hijacked into executive board positions in a number of local senior and veterans groups--I'm hoping my VFW post will lead a drive to re-supply the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington DC--The only other home run by the Feds is the Gulfport MS Armed Forces Retirement Home and its residents are coming to the DC Home. I'm sure they need blankuets, sheets, towels etc. Drop me a line and I'll get back to anyone once I found out what is needed and a collection point is set up.
