Forgot I'd picked a a box of this beauty at the FL offline. Brite gold color. Nose had ripe peaches, some kiki, jasmine and a touch of tangerine peel. Killer way to end a nice lunch. All the guys at the club really fell in love withthis gorgeous stickie. WW

I know I shouldn't ask, but what the hey. Pray tell, oh elder statesman, what is a kiki?? The only kiki I remember is Kiki Dee who did a duet with Elton John way back when.

Actually, I do know he really meant kiwi, but it's too much fun to let this one pass.

Oh the humility and designed degredation inflicted purposfully on the poor FF WW. [img]http://wines.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

I originally thought he meant Kaka...err... poohpooh or just plain sh!t. Some of us like a bit of this err... barnsy nose but usually in a Rhone or something like that. It was strange that WW would look for it in a Sticky....err...maybe it was a differetnt sticky he was talking about...

...there is another designation for kiki and that is Waikiki where I'm currently tanning my big behind.... [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Enjoy your stay in Hawaii, Engineer. I love it too--especially the spectacular sunsets, the Mai Tais, the snorkeling, the leis and exotic flowers, etc. etc.

Back on the "Mainland". [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] I always enjoy Hawaii even for a few short days. On the last day I just did not want to leave. Anyways, back and totally toasted.

I drank a lot...both to and back but only had a few Gallo Merlots on the plane. The rest of the time, my clients pushed cocktails and mixed drinks on me. Had my first (of many) Mai Tai's..... did not help the red eye flight back....
