TN: Pre-Sandy wines

Roger confirms. Light, smooth, some tar and roses over dried cherries, I guess Nebbiolo, told no. A few more guesses and then Roger says it?s a Barolo

But you weren't wrong. It may not have been called Nebbiolo, but Barolo is made from the Nebbiolo grape.

Yes, I know, that's why my chagrined comment about this not being the geeky group (except for Fred and myself).

I thought you knew. You know everything I know about wine, and more. That's why I was surprised when you said you were wrong.

How are you doing with Sandy there? It's good to see that you still have electric power.

sleepless night, no power since 6:30 last night (am at office, just got power back here, may be days at home). We lost several sections of cedar fence- I've never seen anything like that storm. But safe, got generator working, less rain than forecast (great for my basement, plus we lost less trees than saturated ground). Lots of closed roads, downed lines. Record number of people without power. Transit in city awful. This is a true disaster for lots of people, so I feel lucky. Thanks all for concern, hope everyone in storm path made it through safe if not happy

Glad to hear you are safe Dale.

Glad to hear that all is well, and it's good that you have a generator. This morning I spoke with my son, who you might remember lives in the village next to you, Ardsley, and he too reports that all is well except that he also has no power (and no generator).

Funny we had snow on 27 Oct... bizarre.

Glad to hear you're hanging in Dale, I'm sure this must be a very challenging time work-wise also. I have my dad, sister and nephew in from the city, here in France. But my step-mom was cat sitting on w.

58th and is evacuated; not clear whether Dad will be able to go back home on saturday...
