Hi all,
Long time no type ... we've been crazy busy for the past couple months. Between Virtual Tape Drive and ski instructing, its been one heck of a winter.
I'd like to share what thought was a very funny situation with you. A few weeks ago, a friend of the family came up to visit us in Collingwood for the weekend. On the Saturday night, he took us out for dinner to Catch 22. Catch 22, as you might have guessed, is a great seafood restaurant, and if you're up in the area, I highly recommend it.
When we asked the waitress about the house wines, she told us about three different ones. The first two are unimportant ... its the third that made me laugh: a home made Chilean wine. Now here's the question: We're in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada.... just over 5,000 miles away from Chile. How in the world can you call it Chilean wine if its made in Collingwood. Perhaps a "Chilean-like" wine would be more appropriate, or maybe even a "tastes just like Chilean" wine. But to simply call it Chilean?
Anyway, I'm sure there are some wine makers out there who would be able to explain why its OK to call it Chilean ... but honestly, no explanation required. I just thought it was funny :)
Talk to you again soon.
