[Sca-cooks] grape stomping

[Tom Vincent]

Maybe, maybe not, but at least I'd have some sensory expectations as I 
climbed into the vat.  My comment was more about the person's longtime 
psychological linkage between the unpleasantness of unexpectedly 
*stepping* on something and *tasting* it.  Personally, I don't have any 
taste buds in my feet.  I'm glad my feet don't taste...they don't smell, 
either. :)
