It's might be the sulfites (sulphites) in the wine. Try sulphite free wine.

Small world, innit? And yes, it's a small world! |

Why would a French gunner attack a steeple - did it look like a giant fledermaus? Or is a bat in a belfrey something different in german?:unsure:
And yes, it's a small world! In his defense he was given targeting instructions by a bunch of Yanks who were map-reading challenged. |

Re: wine!
Jackson Triggs Rosé...about $10...goes very nicely with a prawns and scallops meal I make. It's a nice change from Red and White and the only decent Canadian wine I've found that wasn't an Ice Wine.
Anything on the Rosemount Diamond labels...Chardonnays about $14 and Shiraz between $17 and $20. Hardys Stamp is usually reliable for a cheapie at $11 to $14. Oxford Landing was a favourite back in England. I've not seen it here but it must be around. Everything else I used to trink over there seems to be.:) |
