To: fellow oenophiles and gnomonophilesMy favorite gnomonic wine is the J. J. Pruem Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese from the village of Wehlen in the Mosel Valley, Germany (an image of a similar label is attached). It is an exquisite dessert wine and the label features in its center a drawing of the large vertical dial that sits in the middle of the steep Pruem vineyard on the right bank of the Mosel. I use this wine for all gnomonic celebrations such as first-shadow ceremonies and meetings of diallists, such as the upcoming NASS annual meeting, which I will be hosting here in Seattle 18-21 August 2011. This is another reason for readers of this message to attend this year!
With wishes for a peaceful 2011, Woody Sullivan
P.S. Fetzer Sundial Chardonnay wine from California is unfortunately mediocre.
