What an interesting quote... You know, it wasn't until recent history that sweet wines were so frowned upon... until what... the 50s I seem to remember, sweet wines were in vogue. You could start a comeback... or just ship it to me. <smiles>

When you think you would feel safe eating off of it, and when it sparkles and shines THEN you sanitize it (yes, I have learned my lesson... starsan is your friend).
