Saving wine labels is a good way to record pleasant wine experiences,
but removing the labels is not always easy.  I've tried steaming them off, 
as well as soaking them in water.  For most labels there is no problem.
It seems, however, that the better the wine (and therefore the more
memorable the wine experience), the harder to remove the label.
California wine labels are especially difficult; the glue is strong and
the paper seems porous and is apt to rip when wet.

Do any of you out there in wineland have any suggestions?

It seems de rigeur to sign off with a cute phrase, so here goes:

                                      In vino felicitas,
