Lorenzo,
  Great plan to use vino theraputically.  I knew there had to be more good reasons to drink wine.  My favorite, if money were no object, is Chambertin clos de beze.  I used to be able to buy Chambertin futures at 10 dollars a bottle, yes, yes, that was some time ago.  I've been "researching" New Zealand Pinot Noirs, some of these are quite good at a reasonable price.  I have to admit I don't drink Italian wines too often, but I do buy Barolo (by Pio Cesare) to age. Wow, Barolo can be impressive.  Good luck with your "treatments".  ;)
Regards,
  Rob

Ah ya, Barolo. Lovely....  Vino Nobile? Brunello? Flaccianello? Tignanello? Sassicaia? Montefalco? Some of the reds from the Franciacorta, and maybe some of the Salice Salentino wines. Also some of the more carefully made Valpolicella Classico, and the really good Chianti Riserva or Rufina. Yum. Or Rubessco from Umbria, the good years I like New Zealand whites, some of them anyway.

I think this is a good excuse for wine drinking! Salute!  :)

*temporarily comes off moderating hiatus*

Um, folks... can we continue the grapely-wine talk to "AN Community"?  I'll join you all there! ;)

*goes back to moderating hiatus*

Just started reading this - what a fun time I've been missing!  These are my obsevations:

#1  Debbi~
        I think it is STEVE buying the drinks in Chicago, not Jim!

#2  If you are going to have a wine club then I could be in the wine club AND the book club and I wouldn't care if we read non-fiction books!!   ;D

#3  Does anyone else think that it is strange that we hear NOTHING from Phyl until we start to mention ALCOHOL????

Ooops, my bad - Since we don't really know who Jim is, is it any wonder I confused him with Steve???  Hey, I still have Ethel's toes in my head - don't blame me! 

Phyl - sorry, some of us got carried away with the wine talk. 

Kay, yes, let's drink AND read...

Geez, I leave you guys alone for a few hours and look what happens  :o  Now I know how Phyl feels  ::)

K - you are right, it is STEVE who is in charge of buying drinks at the symposium, not Jim.  BTW it looks like Debbi has picked up Jim's "my bad" expression  :D

As for the AN International Wine Company, count me in (burp).

Okay, now who's going to listen to Phyl and move the thread  ???

Jan, probably not you - you tatooed rebel, you!   ;D

And, Kay, that is a very astute (Maytag Jim would be proud) observation about Phyl...   :D  Won't she be disappointed if our "research" proves that wine is a cure for AN's?  Hey, you never know!

Lori, I would be delighted to move the thread - I always listen to Phyl and can't even believe you'd imply that I wouldn't   :o  you know how accommodating I can be. 

Now, if I only knew how to move it.  Where's a moderator when you need one?  Maybe we should mention the word "alcohol" again  ;)

*grabs thread.... and a lovely bottle of **Henri Giraud, a lovely Pinot-led Champagne with excellent Prestige Cuvee fermented in Argonne oak, over to the "AN Community" new thread entitled... "ANA Wine Club"*

See you all there!

(**Google or pick up a copy of Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2007 for reference :)  Bloke brought us a bottle from the UK... good stuff! :) )

Thanks, Phyl. 

You always seem to be there when we need you.

How do you do that  ???

Right. So, just to prove the point I started with: my readings have been in the 150s / 100 or so. Last couple of days I had a glass of wine with meals, and hey presto, my BP was down to 129/78. If that doesn't prove the beneficial properties of a good Chianti / Cab Franc / Petite Syrah / plonk, then I don't know what does!

Ok, end of wine talk here. Over to the other thread, as per our invigilator's request. Right she is too. Sorry Phyl.

Ciao, Lorenzo  :)

a little later:  this morning's reading were back to a respectable 143.96; wine works short term.
