Hi Bill,

I agree, this is a very enjoyable ng (unless we get involved in a
discussion with a crosspost) then a few of the "other folk" start
emerging from under their rocks ;-)

Your bravery (first official post) might get some of us other lurkers
to venture into a tasting note or two. The experienced regular
posters are usually very supportive of us who are trying to learn
more about wine.

All the best,
