Apparently some of you got multiple e-mails last week, for which I apologize; my computer was telling me mail had not been sent when it evidently was (one poor person got my mail four times). Again relatively little new, but we did close the doors and take inventory Sunday, so we should be able to take in some new and exciting stuff in the next few weeks. Also, we are planning an exciting Italian tasting for late May; more about that next week!
