That’s true Tom. I wish I were that conniving…but I think it’s just my notoriously bad memory (just ask my kids!):)

Steven,

I doubt, however, that Twain was referring to history. Some names–and dates–are sometimes changed not to protect the guilty but to enhance the agenda

Charlie:

As Mark Twain used to say “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” Some names (and dates, apparently) were changed to protect the guilty.

Great post, Steve. I’ve always enjoyed going to places that were a little off the beaten path, and coincidentally I resolved about a month ago to visit a few of Cali’s outlying wine regions. So far, I’ve made a couple of forays to Lake County, Santa Cruz Mountains, and Amador/Lodi. Beginning in Sept. I’ll be posting some of my visits on my blog (it’s very new — so don’t expect too much at the moment). It is California Wine Month after all. Might as well do my part! By the way, I’d be happy to take suggestions if anyone here has tips on must visit places, whether those are regions or more specific wineries, restaurants, sights within them.
Thanks in advance for the help!
