In my art collection is a pin and ink that John Henry Dick (for real) made for my wife and dedicated to her. It is of Avocets.
ClapperZapper---I trust that when you decanted the "wine" that you removed the floating stems and grape leaf residue floating therein.
I, being a sophisticated common sewer of wine, might have suggested a Sly Fox((1958) and red in salute to Red Fox who judged it superb) as the accompaniment to a gourmet meal of that rarest of creatures. The genetic coupling of land and sea animals. A fishy flavored flying skeleton with feathers and very long meatless legs. If size really counts, then this "bird's" feet will pass inspection admirably !!
Kevin----- I trust that you have been alert !! Wayne Nish may have the handle on woodcock, but you need to contact Clapper or me to really understand the nuances of Clapper Rail preparation and savoring.
Best,
John
