Invention from Oz

[Innkeeper]

Dan Berger seems to have fallen in love with OZ. In his Sept 29 newsletter (p.4), he tells us about a device that processes wine with evaportative perstration. What this does is reduce the alcohol in wine and increase fruit taste and structure. It is supposed to be a big improvement on the reverse osmosis method that many of you have unknowingly been subjected to.

Other new from Oz (p.2) is that Hardy is sending us a new brand called called Oomoo (aboriginal for "pleasant"). Initial offerings will be a Shiraz (surprise!) and and unwooded Chardonnay (yeah!). No word on price points.
