I think you mean "Valtellina's" , which was named after a valley here in the Alps -my mum and dad used to rave about it.

Oh I don't know, you don't strike me as "Death" as to him giving out prezzies to the kids in the grotto, made me chuckle. And what about his Grand-daughter Susan Sto Helit, a governess giving monsters a good hiding with a poker. Discipline & standards sadly missing today.
