Hooray! Hooray!

You got me! I just love it when I'm surprised - and this was sweet and perfect and cinnamonny - and from Ithilien... WOW - Excellen!

Author Reply: Thank you! I can just see Legolas making wine down in Ithilien, and who better to taste the first vintage than Thranduil?

Great praise indeed, coming from Thranduil!

Okay, I feel stupid. Can I borrow your proofreader, Jay? ;) Write instead of right. Ow. Whatever the case, I still love your stories. Keep them coming!

Not a fan of wine myself, but your description of this wine makes me want to try it. That description reminds me of the description of Elrond's house. And it must be good wine if Thranduil approves. ;-)

I love the idea of wine in Ithilien. Cool idea.

Author Reply: I prefer white wine to red, but this felt right for Thranduil - and he knows good wine when he drinks it :)

Making wine seemed a suitable task for elves - and profitable, if they export it to Gondor or further afield!

Gosh I could almost taste that! Umm.....could I have some of that?, just one glass will do, my mouth is watering it sounded so good. Hugs The Imp

Author Reply: Thank you! Although I prefer white wine, I think I'd like red if it was like this ...

I love these drabblets! Especially because you have written about all three of my favorite characters--Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir! These are all really good, and "No Son of Mine" was cute! :) Are you working on any longer stories write now? Do it, please!

Author Reply: Thank you!

I'm working (slowly) on a longer fic with Elladan, Elrohir and Estel, 'Beyond The Dimrill Gate'. I'm trying to finish the latest chapter.

Ah--Legolas's pressing, then? Excellent! Sounds as if even I would like it!

Author Reply: I could just see Legolas tending vines and growing grapes in Ithilien!

This was wonderful Jay! I love the fact that Legolas comes to his father for his approval for the vintage. I wonder if it's as good as Dorwinion?

Author Reply: Thank you! I think Thranduil is seen as the wine expert, so who else would Legolas ask? And I'm sure it's even *better* that Dorwinion (to Thranduil's eyes, at least!)
