Alcoholic Wine?

[lizardbrains]

Wow, IK! Those were my thoughts EXACTLY!!!! Hey, maybe I *AM* smarter than I think I am!!!! ;-)

As soon as I tasted it, I seriously thought that maybe I had forgotten that I needed to store this one for some time before consuming. I actually re-read the tasting notes that came with the shipment, to be sure it was ready to be consumed. Sure enough, it didn't say a word about waiting.

When I talked to the winemaker, I even humbly suggested "Do you think it may become more mellow if it sits for a few more months?" He said that sure it may mellow a bit with time, but that this is just how this wine tastes. Hmph!

Hey, I'm really glad you said that, IK, b/c that's exactly what I was thinking. And from the way it tasted, I would say it might need to sit for a year!!! Yikes.

P.S. IK, sorry for the quick short note the other day. I just wanted to spread word in case you were concerned. :-) How are things with you?
