(....taking deep breaths after reading #624....)
for the Ahia crowd or anyone who has Marshalls/TJ Maxx stores near, I found
in the gift section some very nice chile motif ceramics, complete with
pepper flakes - from Calabria, Italy - priced at $6.99 up....Almost bought
one to hang in my kitchen, but realized I was there to buy presents for
'other people.'
The correct spelling is "Lafite Rothschild." Ya gotta give them some
credit - they claim to use organic pasturing and pick by hand...whereas if
Ripple is anything like Wild Irish Rose - its made from mass grown heavily
sprayed mechanically harvested fruit - also heavily chaptelized (sugar
added to kick up the alcohol level)....but don't let that sway you - try
one of each this holiday season...Lafite recommends vintages 85, 87, 89 and
92 as drinkable now (97 and 99 also, but will continue to age) ; for
Ripple, I'd try anything bottled last Tuesday or before...
As the 'other' Elvis wrote - what's so funny about peace, love and
understanding....
Happy happy chile Christmas!
