Here's an interesting observation. This poll has already had 52 views but only 9 votes cast.

Maybe it's all those fun young folks off the "other" forum doing the viewing, get stuffed guys! :)

voted (d) could have easily voted (b) but service has to be at least reasonable - at least one winery I could mention the service was so bad that we'll never go back despite the wines being very good.

Like DJ it was a tossup between d and b. I went the other way.

I expect that we have all had a "poor experience" and one CD or another.

Sometimes it is poor service, poor knowledge by the staff, poor tasting conditions, and sometimes poor wine.

Thanks RB, you'd think a young, techno-prat would have been able to work that out! :lol:

Ah, but this old techno-dog has learned a thing or two over the years and hasn't yet reached the stage where he's forgotten most of it, it's all that healthy red wine that does it, I'm sure. :wink:

(Still miss those whirring mainframe tapes and chattering card-feeders though, the days when hanging chads ruined your program run, but not an election...) :lol:
