Thank you for the link and the explanation.
I was lurking to see if anyone had posted anything on Wine Country for
visiting and dining in Argentina or Chile.
Next year is our 30th Wedding aniversary and I am about to start planning a
trip. With the weak dollar, going to Italy or France is not something I
prefer, but might have to happen as I am more familiar with those regions
than visiting South Americas wine areas. Plus its 12 hours flight from
Charlote to Buenos Aires and I can be in Italy, France, Spain in slightly
less time I think.
Well, thanks for hosting the AFW cite.

I have put everything on the wine Faq, with the exception of the entry
page, on one of my domains that is still up and hopefully will be up
until a new subdomain for FAQ can be put back up. See
http://www.cwdjr.info/winefaq/wine/FAQ.php . Remember this url is just
temporary and will go down after a new faq subdomain is up or the old
main domain goes down.
