excerpts from the archives of WineZone.com
in memory of our friend, Joe Sullivan
originally published Oct/Nov 1996 through vol 4, num 3 (May/June 1999)		 We met Joe in the early 90's and liked him right away - his love and appreciation for fine wine was contagious. He was generous of spirit and shared his knowledge with us, giving us the benefit of his palate... Joe allowed us to publish excerpts from his magazine - the poetry in his wine notes continue to have a voice here. And we like to think his spirit drops in on us at CalWine.com whenever he visits Napa Valley...
