Thank you both for meeting up with us! I had a great time. Let's do it again sometime.
The thing to remember about theDrieux is that if you have something to say, you need to assertively jump in and get your $0.02 in when he takes a breath. Trust me, I know this from many years of experience, and since I tend to be a "polite listener", this took me awhile to learn... A drieux is rarely at a loss for something to say, and it's usually educational and/or entertaining and/or cryptic. I almost ALWAYS interrupt him for clarifications, which he's always happy to give.
Hope you like the Syrah. Given my economic status these days, I'm always on the lookout for good wines at low prices, and the Smoking Loon was a pleasant surprise.
