FAQ Bourgogne v.0.9 [LONG]

<SNIP> Many, many thanks for this, Nils. There's a ton of useful information here, and with a little reformatting should fit nicely into the wine tourism section. The one addition that I feel is needed is a general introduction to Bourgogne: division into Côtes de Nuits/Beaune/Chalonnais/Mconnais, names of villages, discussion of vineyards (morcellation, GC/PC/village/generic classifications) in addition to your excellent advice about visiting vignerons. I'd be happy to write the extraneous verbiage unless you'd prefer to do it. Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.hostexcellence.com |

Brilliant. But should have head examined by a shrink. Please don't blame Nils for this, Mike. 'Twas little ol' monoglot moi, employing a term that I've encountered before, describing the division of a vineyard into smaller parcels owned by different individuals. It's actually valid English, believe it or not, usually used in a medical context, but also found in vinous context, as in this example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_Lynch-Moussas Sorry! I didn't realize how obscure the term was... Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.hostexcellence.com |

In fact, concerning your suggestion, I had started on that when I got the impression that it was, strictloy speaking, not called for - however, I wil gladly delve into that, will not take long I think - we are having a holiday so there might be some spare time. Cheers Nils |

<...> Sorry about thinking it was Nils. Besides why would he need a shrink?
A shrink? Moi? _I_ wouldn't have anything to do with a shrink. _I_ know exactly how barmy they can get. Physicians are a strange crowd at best, one should have as little as possible to do with them; the psychiatrists are the worst of the lot. <winks HUGELY> Cheers Nils |

For the most part they seemed rather normal, but who can tell what they might do in private :-). However I knew two children of shrinks in college, one male and one female. Oh my, I guess a polite description of them would be "very liberated". |

After hearing him talk about the problems he and his wife were having we spent most of the session giving him advice ... then he sent us a bill. Back around the same time, we had a wacko neighbor who wanted to become a psychiatrist - probably to try to figure out herself. Dick R. |
