Thank you for mentioning, Jim.
This being said, I realize all the time I devote to minding my own business wil not be spent as a nuisance to others!
“ They called me the --- Irreverent --- when I entered the Church unstained;
my employers have changed but the name has remained .....

Good old Phil Collins in his Genesis period!
Jim, you're now unearthing roussillon blogs before me? You know no limits. ;D
Thought people would tell me the culprit’s Gabriel, not Collins.
Yet, bloody Ryan’s talking fucking relevant matters, no petty bullshit.
When do we meet, Ryan?
Luc you could meet Ryan at the European Wine Bloggers Conference in mid-October.
Bob here from Alberta...I think Ryan is a great vigneron and his website is top-notch. His videos are always full of interest and well presented!
Problem is where to find his wines?
