I THINK I finally understand, and I don't think you are a wine bore... The
European "experts" (read snobs) who probably set up the standards on the other
hand...

Maybe someday I'll get to share my Scuppernog with you, although you might not
care for any foxy notes in it, (which have been lessened over the several
years of aging) I think I have a keeper. I also wouldn't compare it to other
Scupps I've tasted, which are frankly too sweet.. A personal preference. Dry,
yet fruity, it goes well with the rich food of it's native Southeast. Of
course... I only have a few bottles left : (...
