All of the above comments are with merit. As I've stated many times on this board I could buy a vineyard with amount of Burgandy I've poured in the terlit over the years. I certainly agree that these high alky monsters aren't good for much other than a rapacious hangover, but I have had several 15+ wines that were very enjoyable because they were balanced. As I've gotten older(and older) it seems my tastes are more in tune with wine with whiskers. It's easy to pick out a good drinking bottle after spending 10 years mellowing. Out of balance wines show their character immediately. As far as Darryl is concerned, it be his store, his money, and he, as far as I'm concerned, can sell Bavarian Licorice schnapps exclusively. He'll find out soon enough how much support he has. WW
