I reviewed my post and did not find a reference to Nihonshu or shochu, or a comment to describe Nihonshu or shochu as sake. If I am in error, I apologize. As a resident of Osaka, please use this opportunity to enlighten us OBFGs (Orientalist Barbarian Foreign Guests) and explain the difference between Nihonshu and sake. Thanks for the comment.

I really hated to dump the Mondavi Oakville, but I refuse to sacrafice my liver for bad wine. I also would not cook with any wine I cannot drink. Lastly, I would be embarassed to give it away as a gift. There are just too many good wines available. Will be in touch soon. Reg Heather,

I love the concept -- though I cried when I read about your pouring out six bottles of the Robert Mondavi Oakville down your drain. True, 1997 wasn't my favorite vintage of that wine, but I would have struggled to figure out something to eat it with or someone to waste it on before I sent it off to the fish in the bay. But anyway my reading inspired a lot of thinking (about your site and mine, since I'm trying to do something similar) and I'd love to get your personal email so we can exchange ideas. Thank you, Heather Reg:
