To quote a friend, "Complex and deliciously intelligent with a robust sense of humor and wicked gleam in my eye. Notes of mischief and sparkling repartee, very subtly tinged with irony for a more nuanced flavor. Repeated samplings reveal a richness of multiple interests, warmth and gentleness which could be overlooked by the less refined palate. Among the more discerning, this will no doubt be appreciated when paired with a roaring fire or perhaps long walks on the beach."
