.....Also, I read an article here at Cornell that indicated that NY State
red wines have more of the ingredient (? whatever it is called), than other
red wines from CA, and I believe even France. Something about the way the
climate is here, and the grape provides more of this ingredient to keep
itself from molding in the cold, damp climate that can occur near our
Finger Lakes........
How's that for Scientific? I could actually do a search for the article if
anyone is interested in it.
