Diablo's rather generic Italian blend:

  * 3 tablespoons dried basil
  * 3 tablespoons dried oregano
  * 3 tablespoons dried parsley
  * 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  * 1 teaspoon onion powder
  * 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  * 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  * 1/4 teaspoon fine black pepper
  * 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

It could be that the wine was used to cook, not drink. Just guessing :)

He said he had a glass, so there's the drinking. Although unusual, it's not the first time I hear of someone drinking a glass of wine at breakfast. It's common in some cultures.

Its something I'm trying out. My culture doesn't really drink wine at all (I'm half German, half Irish, 100% American), but since I eat one good meal a day, I had a glass with it.
