Silverlake Wine Immortalizes Bermudez-Rabe's ... and a vocabulary test

It is not my habit to publicize an Off-Ramp sponsor in such an unseemly fashion, but Silverlake Wine's co-owner George Cossette has achieved a first, I believe, in the wine blurb world by immortalizing my husband, Julian Bermudez, and me.

Check out the description of Mount Eden Vineyards "Saratoga Cuvee" Santa Cruz Mountains 2006:

Mount Eden Vineyards is one of the great, old school, boutique wineries. It hasn't grown to Brobdingnagian proportions, or sold out its founding principles. And, the wines are good and age worthy. This is a Cabernet based wine using some estate fruit and some fruit sourced from other, surrounding vineyards.The intention is to make a wine that can be drunk upon release and still reflect the Santa Cruz Mountains terroir. It is elegant and soft. It feels like a well aged wine from another time. Have this with a grilled sirloin, broccoli rabe and julienned Bermuda onions.

(Bold mine.) In the text, there are coded references to Julian, me ... and our dogs, Irish terriers (terroir meaning earth, terrier meaning charming little SOB that digs up herb gardens, destroys fig trees, and barks all day).

Yes, I'm in my pajamas, in our bungalow, with Connor. (Trivia points to the linguist who identifies what's special about that sentence.)
