M'Lawd the Burgundy Alley Goat is... Burgundy? And the

Actually we're getting close to defining just how many
angels can dance on the head of a pin.


Bill, with an ounce of planning and some stability in the world's currency
markets (lest I should convert all my holdings into Lilangeni!), it is my
intention to again arrive in the general neighbourhood of Mr. Tommasi - some
time around mid-September.

Whereupon, I shall demand that he and Cathy should invite me and my tribe to
dinner at Chez Tommasi, where he can show me a bottle or two of those
well-known and plentiful examples of *Burgundy* he quotes (Aligoté and
Sauvignon de St Bris) matched perfectly with some local cuisine.

Methinks he will need to start his search very soon - lest he be found
wanting !!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Speaking as a fan of St. Bris and the son-in-law of an inhabitant of
Six-Fours, almost next door to Bandol, I think it is your request that
M. Tomassi should match the wine to local cuisine which may cause the
problem rather than finding the wine — maybe soupe de poisson minus
the rouille? As for the Aligoté I have yet to be persuade that Canon
Kir did not find the best use for it.
