Actually, Alyce, that’s the law, at least as far as the state of Kentucky is concerned. That’s why George Dickel and Jack Daniels cannot be called bourbon on their labels.
And Fred: I tasted Pritchard’
s rum when it first came out and also the first “bourbon” he made, but I haven’t seen “Sweet Lucy.”

Fred, as a native Kentuckian, I feel it necessary to point out that we all believe that it shouldn’t be called bourbon, unless it’s from Bourbon County, Kentucky!

Fellow Fred(ric),

I know you are a wine afficinado, bur I have tried a Bourbon that is worth you looking into . Its calledSweet Lucy, and it is the smoothest and sweetest bourbon I have ever tasted. Pritchard’s Distillery of Kelso, Tennessee (North of Huntsville AL) in Middle TN makes this wonderful Bourbon. Pritchards makes a Pritchard Bourbon and three tennessee rums including Sweet Georgia Belle Rum.

Its kind of a micro – distillery. Anyway It is one of the best Bourbons I have ever tried.

God, Gabrio, let’s hope so. This edition of it sucks.

Word from Italy is that the 2007 harvest is going to start a month earlier then usual, in Sicily they had a heat wave with temperature up to 45 Celsius, Team Alinghi from Switzerland has retain the America’s Cup beating Team New Zealand (what a race), now we need to check the alcohol level along with the price before buying a bottle of wine, Robert Parker is talking about emotion in as judgment factor…is the world coming to an end???

Thanks so much for visiting our place. We are in the process of applying for our wine licence. Any suggestions for us since you have sampled our fare? We need to keep it small because we have limited storage for bottles. We are also applying for beer, import only. Would love to hear from an expert!

1. OK, all right already, Mr. Schadenfreude, I said that i got what i deserved. Sheesh. but, really, who would have thought, even 10 years ago, that before buying a bottle of vino at a store you would need to check the alcohol level? what folly!
2. Yes, Gabrio, they guys do know me, but i have a reputation for, as i said, trying just about anything, but as Terry POINTED OUT, i should have checked. that’s the reality these days.
3. i think there’s a lower limit for table wine, as far as alcohol content is concerned. and i was only sipping and spitting the 17.5 wine, being in the tasting mode. thank god we weren’t like having it for dinner.
