Ed,

Are you saying that that research project is "urine?" Sorry, couldn't resist a
bit of my "red-neck" humo(u)r. I too do not find that flavor/odor a nice one,
however, I do admit that some of the mercaptane [SP?] aromas, that would
normally be off-putting elsewhere, do seem pleasent in some wines, same for
the "barnyard" aspect in some PNs - in very small does, though.
