sparkles like fools gold ash deposit.

Tony -
A true gentleman & judge of fine wines. Thanks for the shino. will let
you know how it works in my little "baby".
Les - out there on the wet coast.

p.s. - when you get out here we will have to spend some time comparing the
Ontario wines with those of ours from the Okanagan. Of course, that would
probably be the evening that "must have been a great one cause I can't
