Thanks Julian. As I don't have to market and sell my wine commercially, then I can be brutally truthful about how the finished product tastes, without the subsequent financial fallout from a failed (or not so perfect) vintage, which I expect is why on your tasting visits you don't hear "...and we tried this experiment this year, but...", followed by the sound of wine entering spittoons everywhere! That's not to say that I'm not disappointed when things don't turn out well every time, after-all, you only get one chance a year to get things right and it takes a lot longer to drink a bad vintage than it does to drink a good one!

It's a commercial thing I guess...
