Call Me Knight Rider

According to the Blogspot Stats page, I now have over 300 pageviews internationally on this website.  I say “internationally,” because in addition to the two hits I’ve received from Canada, I purportedly have received 11 hits from the Bavarian region.  It appears that, like David Hasselhoff, this blog is huge in Germany.  I’m inclined to assume there’s a flaw in the data collection here.  After all, this website is free.  But in the unlikely event that there are actual people in Germany reviewing this blog, I say “guten tag”, and thank you for making my humble efforts trans-Atlantic.

To celebrate my milestone, and mostly because we were thirsty, I opened one of the gems of our cellar last night – a 1996 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Burgundy – a gift I received from Charlie a few years back.  After all those years in the bottle, it remained soft, fruity and balanced.  Just as I imagine the 2009 Dry Run Pinot Noir will taste 13 years from now.
