Usenet access being non-existent at the hospital, I am briefly replying to thank you all for the well-wishes from home before returning. I will offer some more personal replies in due time, and think more upon the weighty issue of what wine to lay down in commemoration. Emily Winemonger's mention of the potential in the Wachau is noteworthy. But surely the Pope of Monkton has already found some 100-point efforts from the '04 vintage, no? ;-)
