Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Sara That is funny that you will be in New Orleans in September. I will be going to New Orleans for the 1st weekend in September with my boyfriend also. I can't wait. I'm just glad I will be able to eat real food by then. The food is one of the best parts of New Orleans, and I would hate to have to miss out on it. > > > > > Hi All > > > > > > > > > > Well today was a LONG day!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Sara, Thank you for your update. Please do tell us the name of this new wine. I plan to buy a bottle(s) to toast my successful surgery late-fall!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Diane, You are just too funny! The new wine is called LUI which in Italian literally means HIM. It's a super tuscan wine. You can find more info at www.luiano.it which is the website of my fiance's winery. If you do happen to come across the wine let me know if you like it or not. I hope it lives up to the occassion post-surgery!! Sara > Sara, > > Thank you for your update. Please do tell us the name of this new wine.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thanks, Sara. I'll look for it. It has to be better than the cheap bottle I downed on my 40th birthday a year ago...
