I see that every time I am with my French family in Paris or Le Mans, or when visiting France in general. And nowhere is this more true than when it comes to wine. My French uncle tasted Australian wine for the first time in his life a couple of years ago, when he visited me in Belgium. He found it hard to believe that those barbarians down under could make such good Shiraz. Nathan - --- Mikiro Mori <arbos@mac.com> wrote: > Nathan- > I just add another reason to yours.
