I like the B&W best, too.  Tom prefers it, too, but his reason is
different.  He doesn't like the plastic buckets for gathering grapes and
the blue-jeans and ball-cap of the picker.  He would prefer wicker baskets
and peasant clothes - a true romantic.  With B&W, the plastic and jeans are
not as noticeable.  A little romanticism restored. ;-)
