Even my sunniest spots have shade part of the day. And I bet the steep sun angle this far north acts like partial shade ... compared, say, to "full sun" in Texas.
Too me, all wine is spoiled grape juice. I had a chance, once, to blind-taste-test a wide range of burgundies, including a sip from a hundred-dollar bottle. I ranked them in the order of my distaste. I could almost stand the very cheapest burgundy, and the full-flavored most-expensive one was suitable mainly for unclogging drains, in my clueless opinion.
I ranked them in EXACT reverse order of their cost and, presumably, their quality.
But, on the other hand ... BEER!
"That's

And someone gave me a bottle of single-malt Scotch, once upon a time, to reward a favor.. Not wanting it to be totally gone, that bottle has had a little tiny puddle left at the bottom for almost 15 years.
P.S. I hope to drop the box off at the PO at lunch hour. Here it comes!
