HINT: Of the 26 Cantons of Switzerland, these four form a unique quartet because of their position. That is, there are no other Cantons which could be added to the list.

Close, but one doesn't border Italy at all (and one has a partial border with Italy.)

ETA: Well, actually, after thinking about it, the other THREE have a partial border with Italy. And the difference between the two statements should give it away. LOL!

Well, I thought maybe southern cantons, but Geneve is south of Vaud...so I am confused.

YIKES! You are correct - These 4 (AND the teeny, tiny canton of Geneva) form the southern border of Switerland.
See - all the more reason to NOT be rushed when writing a quartet.

Lance will now slink off the stage, blushing as he goes......

And from the stage manager, we hear: "Psst, your line, honey."

They are some of my favorite things, both for their beauty and because they make me feel like a veritable infant!

Okay, I'm going to be away for a bit so I will give a really easy clue. Think plants!

And now, a message from our current "poser" to me.....
=========
tropicalhoney on 11/6/10 at 1:17 PM:

I posted that you had CM'd me the correct answer, so now it is your turn.

I am off until around Thanksgiving when I shall return with a splendid tan and many extra pounds.
=============
Well, she must've been more concerned about her vacation (in the Virgin Islands, if you please) 'cause she didn't - post, that is.

The winning answer is world's longest living trees. These are the names given to the 4 actual specimens, not the type or species or whatever.

Current Quartet:

Balthazar
Nebuchadnezzar
Melchior
Sovereign

A Biblical King named Sovereign? Hmmm... a goggling I shall go....maybe, just maybe that's where we get the word.... NOPE!
sovereign - Wiktionary
Etymology. From Old French soverain, based on Latin super. Ending influenced by reign.
-------------------
Measures of Champagne? You mean like quarts and gallons? I think not.... (but damn close.) You must think more clearly. You must contain your wild thoughts.

Yep. Sizes of wine bottles, although now used only for Champagne. Very rarely made.

Your turn, dc.
