Absolutely sublime - went down a treat with a nice red steak :)
Perfect for hubbie's birthday :)

Jumping in late, but - I like the 'ask a question only a human could answer' approach 'what colour is the sky?' 'what is 2 + 4 (in numbers)' 'is a chardonnay a red wine? (yes or no)' (works especially well here!) 'write "yes" below if you are a real person' 'copy the second word in the pag...

I am heading there again in the next week or so to purchase some. Do you mean these? m They do look alright Ikea's only problem is they tend to be out of stoc...

That looks like its in sync at the moment, then. A server can get out of sync - a good admin will reset it when they catch it. Ideally it will have a cron job set to update against central servers, such as arrnet, but I have no idea the hosting we are using here. (cron job = program set to run regul...

and not just one tasting - plan for where you can get to and try to do something at least every month.
One tasting will just interest you. Ongoing exposure will teach you :)
