Hey, Karsten, it's great to hear your voice again!

A few weeks ago I sat in Assam bar by the Frauenkirche in München
drinking Castleton 2006 FF. (If I remember correctly, that isn't
exactly your part of the country, but...)

About the Apoorva: Sure goodness is a judgment for the mouth to make,
but anyone who drinks the stuff expecting something like a Makaibari
year-stamped FF or 2F is going to be ... surprised?
