Why is brandy going away?

[Thomas]

There aren't many wine-based drinks I don't like KC, but grappa happens to be one of them.

Having said that, I once tasted 50 grappe (over two days) in Italy for an article I wrote. In that 50 there were about 6 I liked a lot--they were the smoothest ones. The best was a grappa that had a feminine quality to it; lean, luxurious, silky, seductive. After looking at my notes, the guy who was pouring told me that it was the only grappa in the lot that had been produced by a woman, which he described as lean, luxurious, silky, and sexy--in Italian, of course, so my wife, who was standing next to me, could not understand.
