It was great to meet you and wonderful to try such an eclectic selection of wines. With the Castagna, I didn't pick up a metallic taste so much, it was more the bandaid character on the nose for mine. I'm normally not too sensitive either - look at my affinity for Henschke! I think we should start a new secret society that recruits internationally for German Riesling. The GRS - German Riesling Sect! Yeh, the Coney was definitely corked. I don't think there were too many that got a taste though; Colin pulled the bottle back after realising I think. Cheers, Max. Hey Wizz.

And thanks for a great night. I'm less Brett sensitive than many - the Castagna tasted a little metallic though even to me. Very disappointing. I have the JL Wolf as Wachenheimer Koningswingert, bar a few bits of punctuation :-) Looks like a very big vineyard bordering Wachenheim, a little north of Forst. The Coney was corked?
