now tell me more about your positive experiences with australian wine please

Haukey, my old friend, New Zealand supermarkets are full of Australian and NZ wine with a bit of South African, some Italian, sometimes a little German and a little French.
I generally buy NZ over Aussie, but for no real reason. It's just that I have a few favourite labels. I have a friend who was in the wine industry for years. You can read his thoughts here.

Kennen sie einen gewissen Ullrich Hauke aus Essen ?

He knows a guy called Haukey who might be related to you.

Anselm and Richard - you have exceeded the limit of off topic postings for the grits thread. Your punishment shall consist of a slap on the wrist and a promise to be better persons and more importantly, better bassists.

Oren,
I too am very sorry for getting off topic.
I think it was Ken's off topic stuff on the TalkBass Nonsense thread that first led me astray. Up until that point of time, I don't think I've ever been off topic on a thread.
Like Anselm (not that guy Anslem) I also try to be a better bassist every day.

I know - it's all Ken's fault. I think that maybe he had some grits on his screen too. And you're right, you've never posted an off topic post on any thread that I'm aware of.

I've just returned from a concert by the band Simple Folk. They are based in Asheville, in the mountains of North Carolina about 2 hours from me. Very impressive. Great 3 part harmonies and musicianship. The bass player played a 5 string Lakland through a small combo amp that I didn't recognize the name on. Pretty good bassist. Unusual playing area on the neck. I'd say that he played 80% of the tunes at, and mostly above the 9th fret and a lot at the double dots, very high up the neck. To each his own I guess. Didn't have to stretch his left arm much.

All is forgiven, I hope.

There was a scoop of grits that had fallen on my screen and that contributed to my hypo typo. Sorry Anselm.
