Chenin Blanc?
I love wine and cheese, but matches can be unpredictable. Every once in a while I try a match that makes intellectual sense, that totally doesn't work. Sorry you got "bit"

Chenin indeed, a nice racy one. The level of incompatibility was
historic! Ugh.

Say, what's with all the whitespace when you quote my post? What reader
are you using?

It's a Giggle Gropes thing, Emery. They have a problem with properly
word wrapped posts, inserting spurious CRLFs into them. OTOH, when I
try to reply to one of Dale's posts, I have to manually rewrap the
quoted text because it comes out in line lengths much longer than 80
characters. I think that the GG software must expect posts with no word
wrapping and perforce chop it into 80-char records on its own.

Ah, that makes sense I guess. I've been using pan, it lets you manually
rewrap in when necessary. Amazing how a company with so much tech savvy
can totally screw up something so simple, and customer visible. Oh well.

cheers!
