I also enjoyed the part about Highway 12. Your explanation about what the sales person might have said could very well be accurate. On the other hand, I can't count the number of times I've heard a pourer at a tasting or a wine salesman say that a particular Bob Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349830722788278723noreply@blogger.com
