It seems like I've been reading your blog for a lot longer! <BR/><BR/>Great work keeping your blog updated - a lot of us obviously enjoy reading your (always interesting) musings on tea and wine. Now go to your wine/tea storage cellar and crack open a bottle of wine and a pu-erh cake and celebrate!
