Just a reminder: if you haven't tasted the wine yet -- and would like to --
why not do so over the weekend?  We'll begin talking about it next week.
I know distribution of wines can be a strange affair, but I do believe
this Chenin Blanc can be found in most areas.  Here in Boston, I paid
around $3.50 for a 1/2-bottle at a not-too-cheap store.  Furthermore, I
think this wine may surprise you, but no more on that until next week....

Drink up!
