Just sayin' hello...

Haven't been around in a long time, and I take advantage of an exchange of messages with Bob Henrick to salute everyone here. Still making wine in Spain, still discussing wine (in Spanish, unfortunately) at www.elmundovino.com. I hope not to be away for so long this time!

It is so good to see your name pop up here again, Victor.

You've always been high in my pantheon of commenters, critics, wine philosophers, and wine makers, and I've missed your insightful, and sometimes delightfully acerbic, posts.

(I also like your wine.)

Howdy, Victor. It's always a pleasure to see you. Just the other day, Mary was recalling zooming over the Plains of Spain in the comfort of your limo. She sends her best, and so do I.

Good to see we're still around here and there, Robin! And some of the youngsters have made their strides, like Luis Gutiérrez, whom I met here on the WLDG 17 years ago, now Parker's honcho for Spain, Chile and Argentina!

Great to see your name on a post. It's a great many years since dinners in Marin with you, SF Joe, and other local wine geeks. I have drank and sold in the store your wines over the years. Hope things go well for you and your family. Best, Lou

I follow @VictordelaSerna on Twitter. Some good interactions there with Jamie Goode and the like.
We are getting some brilliant buying in Spanish wines in NZ. They rival the Aussies for price, just not so widely available - as in supermarkets where volume is a requirement. Independent wine shops are the place to find them.
