Good Wine of Napa
Good Wine of Napa
★ BSD が生まれたバークレイはカリフォルニア州にあります。 そのカリフォルニアにはナパ・バレーという、有名なワインの産地もあります。 (バークレイの数10km北)
★ BSD を開発した CSRG の主要なメンバーであった Marshall Kirk McKusick 氏は、 専用のワインセラーを所有するなど、かなりワイン好きのようです。
telnet McKusick.COM 451を実行すると、氏のコレクションの中から選ばれた、 「今日のワイン」を見ることができます。
★ その Marshall Kirk McKusick 氏から許可を頂いたので、 メールで教えてもらった、氏のお勧めのカリフォルニア・ワインを紹介します。
メールの引用が込み入ってますが、やりとりの概略を説明すると、
私「Napa に行って、Robert Mondavi というワインが気に入りました。」
氏「Mondavi は日本で手に入るカリフォルニアワインの中ではベストだろう。」
私「あなたのそのコメントを、日本の BSD でワインな人達に紹介していいですか?」
氏「構わない。Kendall-Jackson も追加して欲しい。米国外で広く入手できる。」
★ というわけで、ナパを訪れる機会があったら、是非 Robert Mondavi と Kendall-Jackson を試飲してみて下さい。

Yes, you may pass around that quote. I would add to it that
another big but good producer, Kendall-Jackson, is also widely
available outside the US.

Hello, Mr. Marshall Kirk Mckusick. I beg your pardon for disturbing
you. I'd like to introduce your comment below about Robert Mondavi to
BSD people in Japan who also interested in wine. Can I do it? If you
don't allow it, then please just ignore this mail.
Thank you in advance.
