I just gifted someone a bottle of wine the other day. Now I am trying to remember what brand it was. Am I a great friend or what? Seriously though, that is a lot of affected wine. Wow.

DH thinks the whole lawsuit is a nuisance. Arsenic is naturally occurring in soil and could be exacerbated by the current drought. Establishing how much is in the wine is exacting and difficult lab work; results could be skewed by sloppy or inexperienced techs.

You will take flip flop moscato out of my cold dead hands. Worth the risk.

Not sure if I have had that brand, but I have never met a Moscato I didn't like. One of my favorites.
