A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. There are a lot of very interesting wines coming out of Hungary these days, especially Furmint. This was one of the best I've tried yet. I need to explore more the dessert versions.

2. WhatGives: On the label, the two DD's were reversed, pointing the other way. The recent Evolucion was similar, with the first E pointing in the wrong direction. Is this just a marketing gimmick?? Is there an HTML way to reverse those letters when I type it up?
