Thanks for your posts on alcohol Bob. You knew exactly what it was I
wanted. From the looks of this chart it will be coq au vin for me.
Possibly even with white wine.

Today I bought a bottle of Tio Pepe Jerez Extra Dry Palomino Fino* and
plan to drink one ounce twice a week, chilled, over crushed ice
following dinner. Tomorrow I'll buy one of those reusable corks
because this is going to be around for awhile.

I do think I have some strange alcohol intolerance. I've never been
able to drink: even a mouthful unless it was as I described above. And
so I don't drink. But what I read on Brad's Harvard link convinced me
I should try for the HDL raising benefits.

I have Madame Benoit, Claiborne, and Child recipes (at least) for coq
au vin. I wing off them. Could I have a Pastorio anything? I like lamb
and goat too and live near a good Halal butcher.

* $18.95 750 ml.
cheaper than statins
