Seattle Rocks!

What a great stay I just had there.

FIrst of all I have to thank the staff at the Compound, Joanne and Shawn, for their incredible hospitality.

I have to thank the Nordstrom chain for making me go up a flight of stairs to see the only remaining shoe cobbler in Seattle and forcing me to trip on the stairs. I've seriously injured my ankle, am in intense pain, limp like an old man, am wearing an ace bandage and am not far from death. I still have several days of Marvining in Portland before I return to New York and I plan on renting one of those motorized wheelchairs.

All my thanks to Dieter and Michael, the evil geniuses behind Triage, our wholesaler in Washington State. What a bunch of guys!

Incredibly, Le Pichet, Seattle's fabulous bistro, had a dinner for me on Monday that sold out. I want to thank Jim and Joanne for a great evening and also thank all the crazy wine geeks, half of whom seemed to be under the drinking age, for showing up.

I had a strange dream last night that David Shiverick, the excellent Ohio-based wine importer, brought peace to Iraq.

God bless him!

Seattle does rock and you were at the epicenter.
