I thougt about removing that part where I was talking about the vines. I assumed I would get teased. However, it represented the way I felt about the magic of the place, so we kept it in. Glad about the decision. Jay Thanks for those lovely words. I thougt about removing that part where I was talking about the vines. I assumed I would get teased.

This video is spectacular, the music superb. I am always sruck by the light in Spain. I think the grapes from there reflect that, it is as though you are drinking that light. I greatly enjoyed Jay's musing about the vines piled around that old winery, and the shephard's pride in his work, do more of that please, Jay. I felt as though I was there in Southeastern Spain, thanks for that. The lemons, the almonds, the olives, the grapes, the herbs, the land, and the people were refreshing. I'll have a second helping, please! Michael O Partaker of the grape Jay and fellows,

Since the food here is so delicious, we never talk about French here....No Infuence what so ever! Have been there, done that,4****, fun in France etc. The Moore's brought the Paella north to Valencia, the best place to grow "Bomba" Rice. (sold in small Brown cloth sacks. Pimenton,(the authentic one has a smokey flavor and is registered from the region, like vine) Eggplant with blackstrap molasses, peppers etc. yummie... Being a Viking myself, but we all treasure the Moorish influences here. After all, Cordoba was the Capital/seat of the Moore's for more than 800 years! You are so right, We, never think the food here has any French Influence, That woud be an insult to the Spanish! Just compare the "Caracoles", The Spanish snails are always big and the French snails, so tiny..... Hi Roland,
