And what happened 30 years later?

Owen and I had another hit this morning and he won again. I started like a steam train, smacking some heavy forehands, but he slowly reeled me in and he beat me 6-3, again. Wales 2 England 0. Bum.

Roxanne and Owen leave this morning and we're sorry to see them go. They are such a nice couple and I hope we see them again. They have invited us back to Oregon, which was kind, and at least I now know where it is.

From time to time I bang on about the complacency of the French wine industry and how I consider that Bordeaux and Burgundy produce overrated wine, of questionable quality and at inflated prices. 30 Years ago, in a blind tasting, by French professionals, Californian wines beat the top French wines hands down. Well, they have just had a re-run and guess what? Look here to see what happened. Despite how I feel about 'so called' top French wines, I have to say that the quality and price of wines from Languedoc takes some beating. Aren't we lucky?

We are out to Bob and Lynne's tonight for dinner but more of that tomorrow.
