Re: [sharechat] Re: Sars etc
Hi again all,
Actually I haven't seen any Kiwi wines here, but we have been flooded with
Aussie (OK, I'll wash my mouth out for the Kiwi's on the site) wines that are
very good for the price. On our trips to NZ I not only consumed your wines but
at one time held shares in Corp. Investments which later on went into wine
making. You should also understand that I live in California. The wines here
(many of them) are supreb, as good as the French for about 40% of the price.
Tell you what though, I'll look around at my favorite shops and see if I can
find any good Kiwi grape squeezings.
Have a great weekend and uncork a bottle for me,
Allan

[sharechat] Re: Sars etc<br><br><br>><br>> Yes, I drink your beer, always when
I'm in NZ and even sometimes here in<br>San Diego, Steinlarger is a fairly
good beer. Goes well with your green<br>lipped muscles and some good Ciopinno
sauce. (of course I add, shrimp, crab<br>legs, clams etc. Any othe

HAPPY ANZAC DAY to everyone. If the<br>technology had been more advanced

<br>> I don't know many Kiwi's that like Helen<br>Clark -- perhaps I just know
the right one's. Her pronouncements have<br>almost no currency here in the US.
I find absolutely no animosity toward<br>the Kiwi's for not actively backing
the US in the Iraqi war. <br>> <br>> To<br>those of you who think we're going
to engage in a big retaliation program,<br>well I'll turn it back on you -- YOU
DO NOT know the Americans very well.<br>Yes we are a patriotic lot, to be sure
(especially since 9/11) but,we are<br>also very diverse in our culture, our
society and our politics. France and<br>Germany are get<br>> ting all the
flak, because we pulled France's fanny out of the fire tw
ice<br>and many suspect both France and Germany had economic interests that
kept<br>them from backing the effort. I know of no economic interest that
colored<br>NZ's decision. <br>> <br>> I might also point out that I don't live
under a<br>rock. I'm fairly well plugged in and haven't heard so much as a
hint that<br>NZ is on the black list. We still use Fisher & Paykel products at
my Health<br>Maintenance Organization, stores still sell Fisher & Paykel
appliances, and<br>most of the muscles I see in our stores are from NZ to say
nothing of the<br>Lamb. Don't worry, be happy, we're not your enemy. <br>>
<br>> In all<br>fairness to the French, they pulled our fannies out of the fire
too, at the<br>very begining, when we had our disagreement with George, and we
were very<br>thankful for that. That however was 200+ years ago and over the
past 25<br>years or so they have been flacid in their support of many of our
efforts.<br>(legitimate ones)<br>> We do have a question for
the French and Germans -- if you get in<br>trouble -- who are you going to
call? A. Sadaam Insane B. Russia<br>C.Japan<br>> D. North Korea E. Raratonga
F. The United States. Even a<br>Frenchmen could figure that out. <br>> <br>>
But seriously, I don't think<br>any economic boycott is going to befall NZ
because of this. <br>> <br>><br>Enjoy your holiday and quit worrying. <br>>
