              It's in the fridge and glass is at the ready
              I'm not a white wine drinker (normally) so I hope to be converted this evening

                With this particular wine, if you have it refrigerated, I would suggest taking it out of the fridge about 30-60 minutes before tasting it.

                I had a glass of this in a restaurant last night. I won't give you my impression of it as it may alter your own perceptions, but I will say that they served it too cold. Warming up a bit made a difference in the taste and nose.

                      Just wanted to thank everyone once again for listening to me talk about BrewTrax at the meeting.
                      Also, an even bigger thank you for all the nice feedback from people using the software and all the suggestions for new features/changes to be added to future versions.
                      Just to say that all suggestions are now in a nice big spreadsheet along with PM's and e-mails with other suggestions.
                      Next release is due in a few weeks. I'll publish th release date and what is being added in the next version ASAP

                        Question about next month's wine for tasting. I believe it was decided we would have Campo Viejo Rioja?

                        What vintage?

                        (I found a bottle of 2007 sitting in my wine rack.)

                          Hmmm, looks like 2007 and 2008 vintage available in the supermarkets here. I don't think a vintage was specified at the meeting. My shopping is coming tomorrow from Tesco and i have ordered a bottle so I will see what vintage comes. It may be 2008 though.

                              Bargain! We'll see what the boss decides then for the correct vintage for the meeting

                                Right, my wine has just been delivered (Tesco) and I also have a 2007 Vintage now. Hopefully we'll settle on the 2007 then. If not I'll be forced to drink this one and find whatever vintage is decided on
