And if nobody can find it,I can locate bottles of it for you.  An 
Ethiopian resteraunt here makes it according to the owners family's 
recipe--she is extremely proud to say there are nothing but minimal 
ingredients, no "food" for the yeasts, no "sulfites chemicals".  The 
wine is very good, both  the time she apologized for it being too new 
and later when she told me it is really ready to drink now. 

Bonne
