Just remember that Port circulates to the left. (Sorry, Lawrence.)
Which is easy to remember...because port, as sailors know, is not only
where your best girl lies; it is in fact on the left Starboards, by
contrast, are what connoisseurs form their rarest jello on.
David is closer to Liner & Elsen's shop than I am, so perhaps he could
get some recommendations for Ursula in the morning. Do they ship to
Canada? Maybe not, but now that the Coast Guard has cancelled its plans
to hold firing exercises on the Great Lakes, perhaps that boat in
David's side yard could be sent up and across via the Northwest
Passage, once it is found.
There is, of course, a connection between price and quality, but the
fun of the wine hunt is that now and then you find something of
excellent quality that the market has yet to discover.

It was a grand day out. My father and I looked down from the erratic
upon a wonderful undulating patchwork of snowy and bare fields, pruned
vines lined in rows, with Mount Hood in the distance. The sun was out.
We had wrapped up well and chosen sensible socks. The dog, who came
along for the ride, caught snowballs six foot off the ground. licked
his lips and grinned.
