I'm used to it in many different varietals, even PN's without a ton of years
on it. The reference to the "unfiltered" should have been more emphatic in my
notes, relating to the "warning" on the back label. It said to watch out for
it, and the amount surprised me a bit. That's what I get for NOT reading the
"instructions" first! :-}

Thanks for the recommendations. My array of CdRs is a bit limited, so I'm
always on the lookout for good ones. As one of the posters says in his
