That could’ve been a cruel twist of fate, Bimini. How odd. Yes, the smell is not pleasant. I took a sniff of the red wine, and it was awful. I remember as a small kid having a sip of beer and wondering how anyone could stomach such a foul smelling liquid. I wish I’d stayed like that. I’m sure the unpleasant smell would be brushed aside if we drank again, but that wine just now smelled awful.
