When I first started reading your article on Fr. Capon, I thought you were speaking of Rev. Charles Smith (?) of Tacoma, Wa. He was the chaplin of a university there, and then started his own gorumet store, "The Chaplin's Pantry". He's an excellent speaker and also has, I believe, a cookbook out. (Being now in the wilds of Colorado, it's hard to keep up.) He may also have written a book on the philosophy of food, and I think he may now have a syndicated TV show on cooking. The one time I heard him speak he spoke to much the same thought on the use of wine, particularly in the sacrement. (This was to the (o)Enological Society of the Pacific Northwest in Seattle.) The major points were on the importance of wine (not grape juice!) to the Jews, and that one should never forget that Christ was a Jew. Two quite quotable phrases from his talk. (My recreation from memory. Jewish scholors can correct me.) When the Jews, in theirblessing at the table say "Blessed are you Lord God of all creation and maker of wine." they're saying "Just see how powerful my God is!" Wine is [God's] absolute proof that we have no business being unhappy. That's a sentiment that I like! [Theological issues can go to net.religion; food and wine philosophy can stay here!] Donn Terry hplabs!hp-dcd!donn
