In enjoyed your recent blog, Jalapeño Noir... I have several pairing suggestions to pass along.

I love Whopper Burgers, though I limit myself to two or three a year. Since the Whopper is my favorite, I would go bold by pairing it with an Opus One, 2016 Cab.

You failed to mention the Fillet-O-Fish in your blog, but I'll forgive you. I'd pair the McDonald's favorite with a Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc 2019.

As for what a Krespy Kreme, I've got to take a stance--no wine! Irish coffee.

--Trish L.

Thanks for the suggestions, Trish. Opus One is indeed a bold selection. As for your principled Krispy Kreme stance, would that hold true for Dunkin' Donuts?

I see that you wrote a book on Steve Spurrier. Given your perspective, do you see similarities between the Old Ball Coach and Mississippi State coach Mike Leach?

--Ray D.

Wide-open offenses. Neither is afraid to speak his mind. And both had eye-opening SEC debuts. Will be fun to watch Mississippi State this season.

Thanks for recognizing parents/teachers in your blog. Believe me, teaching my kids during COVID-19 has been quite a task. One that I've enjoyed and dreaded. Separating "teacher" and "mother" has been my biggest challenge. I've always appreciated the work teachers do. I now appreciate teachers even more.

Well stated Tina. Hang in there!
