Nice review of the bio of the widow Clicquot. The nasty reminiscence of her Scrooge-like qualities probably reflected the typical 19th-c French attitude that the bourgeoisie were vile and striving to make money was evil. See Sarah Maza’s terrific book _The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie_.
Wawa as a singing attache to Hillary Clinton? that is hilarious. Aldo??? Your secret is out now. BTW, I’ve already had it myself with “no worries” as an ok….And a comparison to Vittorio Emanuel in rome…that is gr…..I thought that was a joke in rome, couldn’t believe my eyes, let alone the idea of a serious tribute to WW (not wa wa) 2 in DC.
On these issues of war, peace, and diplomacy, you are far from the territory of a good malbec……or maybe not?
Interesting story about William F. Buckley, Billy. Frankly, I think Pup was simply trying to belittle his son….again. I mean, saying that an $840 gift was too cheap? Sigh. Even Louis XIV–or perhaps even Nancy Reagan–would not have turned the royal nose up at such a gesture. So, when Pup told Christopher that his wine was inadequate, I think he was really saying that his son was inadequate. Fortunately Christopher had 12 bottles of wine in which to drown his sorrows.
Julia Child loved a good belt, but she admonished us all, “everything in moderation.” It’s too bad they had to include the blogger in this movie (no offense!). Julia Child was bigger than life (certainly taller) and her life story alone would have made a good film. Anyway, thanks for the info about the tinted gravy juice.
Would Chardonnay Place work better as a movie? TV series? Who would play Stephanie? If it’s a sitcom, I’d vote Jane Krakowski. You should work in a murder.

I love Aldo’s drawing. I’m sure if she shares her grapes, the bird will eventually fly away.

I think the pork bellies at Publican are to die for. And, if you ate enough of them, you probably would.
