Hi Ruth...

 It's stashed in what is left of the memory bank. ;)

Oh Yeah, and now they have that new variety of grape for the Ice Wine.. I guess

that grape actually needs a good frost or icing, before it is ready to be made

into wine..

Hey hey, how much memory can a guy have left? 8-) I was always under the

impression that they just rushed them to market for the money and then dyed

them a bit for trickery. I remember having a Navel right off the tree at My

Sisters in California.. Man that was good eating.

Unfortuneatly Ruth, they don't have Annis's there anymore. I think they have

been gone a couple of years now. It is a shame. It was good there.

My Mothers Family was from Olean, we used to take trips out there quite often.

We'd sometimes go one way and then another. Sometimes we swung through

Angelica, it was a nice little town, and then sometimes to Cuba for some Cheese

;-)

That can't be any fun..

That is so true!

Wow! 40:1, no wonder the real thing can be expensive!



Have a good One!
