Xurus

I'm following the news of the California fires in the hope that the Xurus winery has been spared. It is co-owned by Ali Namdar, who in Munich in the 1980s was a wise, generous and loyal comrade whose company I enjoyed enormously. Although precise news is hard to come by, I worry that there are mentions of evacuations of Lake County, where the Sonatina Vineyard is located.

My fingers are crossed, old friend.
