Thanks, Billy, I wrote to them both. What I want to make is ****pon, a
Slovenian white wine made from furmint grapes. (In Slovenian, the "sh"
sound
is indicated by an "s" with an inverted chevron on top, but I don't have
that letter available in my email fonts.) Anyway, it used to be available
everywhere in Cleveland in the 1960's and 1970's but just isn't im****ted
anymore, so I thought I'd grow my own.
