Praise the lord and pass the ripple if you still have any left after this great NR. I am afraid that Portee will have to smuggle his ripple across the border into Vegas since the sommelier of Caesar's Palace has just informed me in no uncertain terms that Caesar's does not serve ripple. However he does suggest a bottle of Chateau Latour 1964 which can be had for a mere $500 at the Palms or Neros restaurants.

I shall be arriving in Vegas on February 16 with far more US Shekels in my pocket then ever before. Anyone wishing to join this very old but also very jolly doctor in Vegas between Feb. 16 and Feb. 21 for libations kindly send me a PM so that we can work out the meeting arrangements. I suggest that Cleopatra's Barge would be a fine place to share a glass of bubbly and observe the magnificient creatures passing by.

Early Chrismas present perhaps but definitely right in the Chanukah ball park.
