This is the one we drank at your house tonight Bob.

I made it last February --- it sat in an non air conditioned garage for 5 months - then sat in a cold refrigerator for another 5 more months

age has done wonders to it --- but here is the recipe and my notes for that one.

special thanks to Doug and Bob for all their help in getting me started --- you guys rock
