| "I'm sitting here at my desk a bit drowsy from the weekend trying to figure out what to do next when it struck me that my condition may have something to do with a bit of wine that I drank last night. Gretchen and I broke into the wine you made. We served it with grilled lamb chops. It was excellent. While it seems that it is likely to improve with age, I thought it was just fine now. Certainly superior to anything else that I might alternatively have uncorked. Anyway, I found my inhibitions dropping, one glass turned into several, and before the night was over, the bottle was drunk (and I must have been a bit tipsy myself!). Anyway, the evidence was on the counter this morning as I carried the dead soldier off to the recycling bin. I greatly enjoyed your wine. Thank you for the craftsmanship. Hope all's well with you." -- Jon Maurer, New York, January 23, 2006 |

Karen S., proprietoress of Coyote Oaks Vineyard, Escondido, CA, after tasting the "throw away wine" -- a blend of Merlot and Syrah which had cooked in the garage then thrown into a contaminated barrel.
