Jacqueline Friedrich: The Wine Humanist WINE BY PEOPLE, FOR PEOPLE; WINE FROM THE HEART

A young, attractive, quasi-urban -- aka modern-looking -- couple was chosen deliberately. She approaches as he is eating a slice of Lou Perac while his sheep graze. She says, "Is it for Lou Perac that you come this far?" He answers, basically,"You get the best milk from here and you need the best milk to make the best cheese."
She replies, "Sometimes I think you care more about your sheep than about me."
He just looks at her.

Nit-pickers snarked at Obama's having given the Queen of England an iPod. Turned out she asked for one. He filled it with videos of her trips to America. Knowing that "Oklahoma" is her favorite musical, Obama also gave the Queen a rare book of Richard Rodgers' music.

I posted this song for Maureen Fant because we refer to her husband Franco as "the lion" and when we're all driving somewhere in the car we usually end up singing the song. Franco usually starts it. And the reason the song came to mind is that MSNBC posted a clip from The Today Show with really cute baby lions on it. They played The Lion Sleeps Tonight in the background. Now I better do something serious -- like taste some chenin blancs.

Kind of fitting that Obama chose to quote lyrics from a depression-era song.
BTW, if you watch the clip to the end, when the second couple dances, you'll get an idea of my ballroom competence.
