==========================
Hey There Glen!
-> 
->  ->  -> had visited the winery) Sauvignon Blanc, 2006.  That had the
->  HN> screwtop,
->  ->  -> and was excellent, with none of the catpee flavour that MLoo
often
->  ->  -> comments on.
->  ->  HN> Happily I've never tasted cat pee, and have no desire to do so!
->  -> You don't have to taste it.  The aroma is enough to put off the
MLoos

trays
->  -> don't mind it too much.
->  ->  
->  HN> I don't have cats either so I'll remain happily ignorant!
-> 
-> In that case you could happily drink Sauvignon Blanc and enjoy it.

I happily enjoy all the wines I taste...even the extra sweet ones my wife
likes best....although I can't drink much of them! I prefer the more robust
reds, Cabernet Sauvignon primarily, though I am beginning to look for pinot
noir more often now.
  
->  -> Sadly, since the wine glut has been consumed, that store doesn't get

->  -> 
->  HN> I don't think I have consumed 400 litres of wine in my life yet!
-> 
-> I did some calculations not long ago, and worked out that I have drunk
-> something like a semi-trailer tanker load of mainly red wine - about
-> 15,000 litres so far.  That keeps my heart and arteries clear of plaque.
-> 
Wow, I'm impressed! Wonder how much the infamous Kevin has packed away?

-> Where you live, are you now getting flooded with rich Canuks crossing
-> the border to take advantage of the cheap US $$?
-> 
Yes, in fact we are! the "tooney" (Canadian two dollar coin) is worth about
US$2.15 right now and the Canubians are flocking across the border to shop
and take advantage of the cheap commodities offered here in the southland.
The have done that for years though even when our dollar was 50% higher
than their own...mostly because they could avoid the extra taxes (VAT and
GST) that are tagged on to everything in Canada. I think they are supposed
to declare all that when they go back across the border....but somehow I
think they manage to forget a lot (grin).
I was actually planning a trip north of the border to Vancouver, Calgary,
and Edmonton to see photographer friends....but the declining us Dollare
has encouraged me to stay home!
chat with you soon
