Default Sorbate is Evil

Joe,

Have you tried sodium benzoate? I gave up on sorbate too, as I didn't
like the taste that was always detectable at necessary levels. The
benzoate is as close to tasteless at 250 ppm as makes no nevermind. I've
used it for a couple of years now on back sweetened whites with no
problems and rave reviews.
