He may be in error. I think, oth, that I've seen something about that the Bush administration has expressly forbidden any reports and/or TV footage on body bags coming from Irak? It isn't always easy to sort out what's true or not about reports from the other side of the pond - could you confirm? Anders

If that's the case, perhaps you would care to tell us what you know about the current trade war between the USA and Europe. Dick Neidich has freely admitted he wasn't aware of one.

Or are you saying that I'm wrong in suggesting that US newspapers are more concerned about the appearance of Ms Jackson's mammary appendages on TV than on matter of world Trade.

Or are you simply lashing out from general anti-Europeanism.

Hi Dick

All this is OT, so I hope it ends soon, here is what could be a concluding statement :

I think you are right, having the opportunity to visit the US every

2-3 months, I now know for sure that you do not get all the news. But wanna know something? We don't either ! ;-)))

Cheers, and back to wine.

I agree with that. News is very slanted based upon country its reported in.

You ever get to North Carolina?

No, only California, sometimes NY. What about your French trip, that still on the roadmap?

Possibly later this year or spring next year.

I am aware of the fact I cannot get raw milk, non aged cheese. :-(

I am not aware of any other trade issues.

Since the French term is "les chablisiens", I'd opt for "Chablisians".

My sincere condolescence ...

No vin jaune in the USA, since the traditional clavelin bottle of

620 ml is not accepted. In Europe France has succeeded to have an exception from EU rules.

There was a case of nurse on a plane with body bags and wounded personnel who took pictures of the body bags being loaded and in flight. Her pictures ended up in the news media and she got booted out of the military. There was no way that it interfered with notification of relatives. It was just bad press for Bush.

Soon after the war ended, the BBC came out with a very strong statement about how FOX news was distorting the news in the US in favor of Bush. Ruppert Murdock who owns Fox has fallen out of love with Tony Blair and it slanting the news in the opposite direction in the UK.

Now how could PinkChablis infringe on an EU name?

Am I silly when I ask why they don't fill it in 750ml bottles and do away with any problems? OK, the size is traditional - and so what? What matters is the wine, isn't it? Anders
