@Брать Коняк [sp.?],

I accept your kind words of encoragement. Looking forward to disasters is no way to live life!

But now I am sorely conflicted, bro. I just discovered a vintage 2005 Kindzmarauli. OMG! Usually I detest red wines described as “semi-sweet”, but Oy! Ach! Yikes! Wow, what a winner! Complex fruity nose, velvety down the gullet (sorry, my wine manners are a little rough, ya know?)…it makes a statement that cries out for a good cheese board.

So, the Bishop of Norwich can hog the Port all he wants, here’s the superior non-sweet wine that works after dinner, too. Refreshing; lightly tart.

… maybe I should keep the old trap shut and buy it all for myself, he-he-he?

OK, duty first…
It’s 100% Saparevi grapes grown in the Kindzmarauli district of Kvareli, way East of them thar Russkies. Maybe our humanitarian airlift in could airlift out a few container loads of this stuff. Mutual assistance pact, and all that…
