Re: 14 Integrated Marble Kitchen Sinks - by Julie Carlson

Yes, be very careful of stone sinks that are not carved out of one solid piece of stone (like many that are shown here.) I had one in our last house in France and the seams were constantly full of gunk. A solid stone sink is much more expensive, but worth the money if you want stone. I did not find that dinnerware or glasses broke more easily than in a regular sink.

These are perfect! My husband makes locally grown organic cornichons every year and is always struggling to find pieces of broken plates to weigh them down during the lactic fermentation! Wonder if there's any way I can get them to ship one to France....

Any chance we can convince them to do a European version? I have some wonderful things in my attic here in Southern France just waiting to be loved again.

Happy New Year Alice! Though I don't often comment, usually because I don't want to enter the fray, I always enjoy your writing!!

I will surely regret this, but I'm willing to do some preliminary prospection for the southern Rhône (Avignon).... Send me the info!

Testy though he may have been, I'm shocked at his desire to please you!! That has never happened to me!! It's probably because I'm too nice and not demanding enough. Well done Alice!!

My problem though, is that sparring with the sommelier like that would have ruined my evening, I it would have made me too preoccupied with the situation. Does that happen to you, or do you just let it go???
