You indicated to me once during a wine dinner in Chicago, that you had intentions of building a still of the coast of California somewhere, in order that those who wanted could row out and have some true absinthe without legal consequence. Are these plans still in effect? When can I reserve my canoe?

Carema,

That was and remains a great idea (the off-shore distillery), but to do it, I think you need to go all the way and produce absinthe. Alas, that particular plan is still on the shelf for the moment as I am already up to my ears in aligotés these days. Hope that this finds you well. Cheers, R.

You got someone to grow Aligoté in Cali? Or are you importing some, like the Madiran? This is very exciting -- I love aligoté.

Dear Max,

It was just a lame joke about being up to my ears in aligators. Sorry for the false alarm. RG.
