Joe,
  You're too kind...  I'm glad to hear that my wines taste better than
Marvel Mystery Oil  -  I'm assuming that's a compliment  %^)   Of
course, I've never *tasted* MMO, so that's unexplored territory.  I've
also never tried wine in the dashpots - could be something new here... 
start out with a medium bodied Cab, and move to something "lighter" if
you need to - maybe a Merlot, or even a Chard!

  Somebody want to test this out and post results to the list??
