No Kosher wine I have ever met could be considered "good". The 
"koshering" process ruins it for drinking - which may be on purpose.

It's even worse that the Christian Brothers communion wine I was given
at church services when I was an altar boy.

I could imagine sipping a glass of C.B. a thousand times before I'd try
a glass of M.D. or Machewitz Concord.

BTW - the M.D. Kiwi Lime that Benita bought for the Y2K picnic still
sits in a back corner of my ice box, pulsing chartreusely.  Bv)=
