What are we drinking?
Lani had 2005 Sterling Vintner's Collection Sauvignon Blanc, California.
Wine notes: Bright aromas and flavors of grapefruit, lemongrass and hints of fig and white peach. 13.5% alcohol, $11.
Sam had 2005 Bouchon Cabernet from Sonoma County, California. Another great wine from the lovely Laura Fitzgerald.
Wine notes: Rich blackcurrant, vanilla, and chocolate aromas, all supported by an underlying earthiness. The tannins are firm on this full-bodied, well-balanced wine. 13%.
Shout-out to: Holly for the cool website, How to say Cheers.
Fish, for hitting the ninth anniversary with Lani. Let's hope they both remember next year. Ten is kind of a big deal.
Holly:
I have heard that there is a rule that my antagonist should not be the love interest for my protagonist. I am sure that I have read many, many books where this rule is discarded, but could you talk about why I would my book will be weaker if I were to use this construction, please?We Recommend!
Lani recommends: The BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (DVD)Sam recommends: Romance Writers of America (organization)

Whadda ya mean, you messed up my question? I'm the one that didn't proofread it before I sent it.
Good show. Of course I would think that when I get mentioned twice on it. But I'll listen again next week, even if I'm not mentioned.
Thanks guys.
