in Happy Holidays to all on Catavino
Ryan y Gabriella:

Muchas felicidades a ustedes también durante esta Navidad y que el próximo año les traiga todas las cositas buenas que han deseado siempre. Su blog me ilustra cada día más sobre los vinos de la península ibérica. Muchas gracias por el gran trabajo. Por nuestra parte, este año hemos comenzamos nuestro blog http://sergioswines.wordpress.com/ con un interés muy personal, simple y amable a la vez.

in Link Bait or Ignorance? A Reporter Gets Spanish Wine Wrong on Catavino
Appellation America says: David started out drinking Boone's Farms in abandoned coal breakers and sneaking sips of Riuniti at family picnics.

We all did but...

Poorly researched and written.

in What’s that “Customer Service” Thing you Speak of? on Catavino
¡Ay, Gabriella!

Being Puerto Rican and directly descendant of Spaniards I can attest to your remarks. Many times I have volunteered to work in the field of medicine in several Latin America countries and remain perplexed at this same behavior. I recently had to cancel a trip in Mexico due to the San Diego wildfires and, so far, have not received a response from Mexicana's customer service regarding re-scheduling. So, basically they kept my money and await the next customer to come on board!

Gene pool? Sociology? Environment? All? I sometimes joke in PR that it is the water and the heat that makes us behave that way. But I am perplexed when I see the same people driving crazy on city streets but then being exemplary drivers while driving on US military bases. They also wait in line, which is an aberration in our society. You know that!

I have found that in our culture usually the ones that can not give are the ones that are most generous with the very little that they posses. We are very kind people with great hearts. We also have high levels of tolerance and our daily lives are full of humor. Our food is delicious and our beauty, exuberant. That's why we live as long as other societies do. I can also attest to all of this!

By the way, I very much enjoyed your recent comments about corks in Dr. Vino.

Un abrazo,
Gerant
