I have never developed a taste for *dry* wines (love liqueurs, muscats,
etc.), including the unavoidable multitudes of Cabernet Savignons, which
taste like varyingly-acceptable versions of vinegar to me. I do cook with
them, of course, finding they become palatable when mixed with good food. I
was at V. Sattui winery in Napa Valley once (it's hard to get to from
Fairbanks, Alaska), and commented to Duchess Juana Isabella Montoya y etc.,
OL, and member of their Harvest Club, upon tasting their 5-year-old
Cabernet Savignon, that it was good enough to cook with. Luckily, she was
not trying to drink any at the time! But if looks could have killed, I
wouldn't be here to tell the story.

Ducking and returning to lurker mode...
