worst match I can remember
After a rather nice 2010 St Just Coulee St Cyr (lemon and grapefruit,
vanilla custard, apricots with nice length and very refreshing) to go with a fried sea bass on a bed of wheat, I put out a couple of cheeses. The camembert, not very ripe, worked fine. But on a whim I had picked up an undistinguished looking Munster... The worst ever. It turned the wine into detergent, bleachy overtones. Absolutely undrinkable. Oddly the cheese by itself was OK, but together: wow. -E -- Questions about wine? Check the FAQ. http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |

I love wine and cheese, but matches can be unpredictable. Every once in a while I try a match that makes intellectual sense, that totally doesn't work. Sorry you got "bit" |

Say, what's with all the whitespace when you quote my post? What reader are you using? -- Questions about wine? Check the FAQ. http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |

They have a problem with properly word wrapped posts, inserting spurious CRLFs into them. OTOH, when I try to reply to one of Dale's posts, I have to manually rewrap the quoted text because it comes out in line lengths much longer than 80 characters. I think that the GG software must expect posts with no word wrapping and perforce chop it into 80-char records on its own. Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |

I've been using pan, it lets you manually rewrap in when necessary. Amazing how a company with so much tech savvy can totally screw up something so simple, and customer visible.
