Skeets, I have a good story about Dom. A friend of mine was the options dept head at Salami Bros. back in the 1980s. A major options account out of Chicago did not deal with the Bros., so he called the PM/Trader and set up a dinner meeting. I knew the guy, and he asked me what I thought of him. I said he was lower than a snakes toe nails and to never trust him for minute or he's rip him off. And, oh, yeah, he liked wine. So, they go to dinner and enjoy a nice bottle of Dom with the appetizers and a great burgundy with a long dinner. Before my buddy could get the check, the PM called the waiter over and ordered a bottle of Dom and a magnum of the Burgundy to take home with him. <G> The dinner cost Salami about $500, and wine prices were much lower in those days. My friend told me the story. And, he called the guy the next day and the fella said he decided NOT to do business with Salami. <G> Gotta love the chutzpah. MB
