Really need to stop by your store some day for some serious sign reading. Until seeing that piece I would have given the 'unusual notes' award to Weimax, up in Burlingame. http://www.weimax.com Kindof a cantankerous goat, that guy, but his online notes are fun to read.

We'd love to see you.

I was just bummed they didn't show the one that's bright orange and says "Friends don't let friends drink Veuve Clicquot!"

He's only cantankerous on the surface. Nice shop, but I moved farther away after grad school and don't get there very often. Hasn't changed very much over the years (a good thing).

I lived there back in the early 80's and when I was doing research before opening my shop, I stopped by one day to ask him a few questions. Even when I explained that my shop would be 400 miles away he stomped off and wouldn't give me the time of day. That's cantankerous.

I probably should have just taken it as a warning sign of the competitiveness of the industry.
