Another good thing about Thanksgiving ...
Hi all,
We're getting very close to enjoying our "traditionally bland" Thanksgiving dinner with all the weird trimmings. Yup, we're having one of those "chemically altered" American turkeys. Not to worry, we only eat it once a year. But the best thing is that I have a "license to shop" at my local liquor store! My wine "cellar" is full and ready. I also like to purchase an assortment of beer because my wife's niece's husband is from England and he enjoys a "good" beer. There's a good selection of stouts, ales, etc. in my fridge. The glasses are ready, bring on the bird! Life is good, Happy Thanksgiving! Dick R. |

We're doing a wild turkey that I harvested from the woods. 23 pounds before field dressing and nice and fat from a great summer and fall in the midwest of the USA.

I did not think Turkeys could fly? Can they.....anyone here old enough to
remember the WKRP-Cincinatti TV Show. Les Nessman dropped Turkeys with Herb from a Helicopter as a promotion and found out they were turkey bombs cause they cannot fly?

Hi Richard,
I think domesticated turkeys lost their ability to fly years, centuries, eons ago. When it comes to wild turkeys, the female is very graceful in flight. But the males ... You would think a 20+lb. turkey would defy the laws of gravity, and not be able to do much but "waddle" around. I have never seen a male fly, but they do! :-) Have a great Thanksgiving, Dick R.

Yes, it was a funny show and the episode with the turkeys was great. Happy Thanksgiving! Our bird is about to go in. The champagne is chilling for kir royales and a friend is bringing some great reds--I hope! I am in charge of the turkey (22 pound free range) which I have brined and am air drying. Just sauteed sausage for the stuffing. Yum! Bill Hogsett |

Richard,
I think I saw that show! The fellow who played Herb was in Toronto last week in Herb dress doing a video for a rock group doing a gig in Toronto later on next month. It is a Retro group. Sorry I should have paid more attention but then I was not expecting the topic to come up. He said he had not played Herb since the series and his kids thought he should do it because it was time for Herb to reappear after 14 years. Wild turkeys can fly. Why? because I saw one. We were driving on the road between our farmhouse and Lion's Head Ontario on October 2, 2004 and a wild turkey flew across in front of our car and landed on a rail fence. We both commented that it was a bad time of the year for it to be out because it was close to our Canadian Thanksgiving, whch was the next weekend. We get over one feed of Turkey before the next. I find I need more than one month. Really folks that extra month helps the old tummy. Have a great Thasnksgiving Day!

We warmed up with Moet & Chandon White Star and Simi Chardonnay. We had a 1982 Ch. Durfort-Vivens. I've always loved the 1982 Bordeaux and this one was perfect, seemed to be at exactly the right point. I was looking forward to the 1983 Dow Vintage Port I brought but it was anti-climatic when my brother preceded it with a 1994 Ch. d'Yquem. That was fabulous. -- Joe Giorgianni TheWho.org "This guitar has seconds to live" Posters |

Hi again Joe, Wow, what a selection of wines. Hope the rooster wasn't intimidated. But then again, how do you intimidate a 47 lb. rooster? Glad you enjoyed, Dick R. |

I thought it was pretty good, even if I did order and cook it. Sorry, we didn't have a 47 pound rooster to have with it. We had the following: Kir Royale's before dinner. I put in way too much cassis at first, but with helpful pouring out by the guests we got it right. Not my favorite aperitif. We had a 2001 Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir and a 1994 Heitz Cabernet with dinner. When we opened the Dutton Ranch, the cork smelled--well very corky. The wine was fine. I didn't check the alcohol level of the wine, but it had a "hot" taste at first which dissipated over time. So is a corky smelling cork a sign of TCA contamination? I am not sure that I have really ever been sure that a bottle was contaminated. The Heitz was very nice. A mature cabernet with lots of fruit. One guest detected eucalptus in the finish, but I think that may have just been label induced wishful thinking. Bill Hogsett |
