What a heartfelt and warmly appreciated response. While we all tend to rationalize our losses, there are some instances that simply demand closer observation and this has proved to be one of them. It was an ill suited fit and, in truth, I feel certain that would have become apparent at the interview had I made it to that level.

But thank you for fortifying what I, too, felt in the aftermath. And you are so right about the other excellent wineries in California who practice and observe standards that compliment and enhance what Galileo once defined as “sunlight held together by water.”

On another note: I watched Doubt on Blu-ray and all the special features. Thank you so much for recommending. It’s certainly given me much needed clarity, and appreciation for the creative mind behind the production, John Patrick Shanley. I’ve also enjoyed the thoughts and sentiments from the four key actors, and composer Howard Shore. I cannot thank you more.
