Peacelover, I admire the loyalty you show to your friend & neighbor. I can only hope my neighbors and friends will someday be so generous. Trevor pays respect to Tom S and Ray Calvert, and he is right on. Anytime Tom S, Calvert or Lum post a message, I read it. Even if it regards a component of winemaking I have no interest in or knowledge of. Jack Keller is also an expert, however he is far too AWOL. What I really appreciate is how Tom S, Lum and Ray C will frequently respond to the most basic of questions without a hint of frustration or impatience. They are true teachers, and they share their vast knowledge willingly and without reserve. There are so many other contributors in this very same category, Dar V being another who has established a niche for one gallon country wines and who lends a refreshing and kind-hearted approach to our favorite pastime. On the other hand, I frequently found Trevor to be crotchety, self-absorbed and condescending. He used the r.c.w. as his blog, and was far too intolerant of the very backbone of this NG and from which we all evolved: the newbie. I wish him well but won't miss him for a moment.
