I'm still on my no fun diet, I'm afraid. But yeah, I have some vague memory of red wine being good, and I think that the small increase (maybe 15 points) I saw in my last cholesterol reading may have been due to the No Fun Diet. (Probably age, too.)
How do you feel about garlic? One study I just found saw a mean 5.8% reduction in total cholestorol from ingestion of 600-900 mg per day of garlic. (http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/alternat/garlcholupdt.html) That'd be like 10-15 points, if I remember your numbers correctly. (Apologies to Rob in advance. ;) )

We have to get you some more Fun in your life, if not in your diet. Thinking of turning forty any time soon? ;-)

Not sure I'm up for a ... birthday party quite yet, but I am getting healthier very slowly, perhaps
a smaller group...
