Don't worry about it David - they're pretty bad. Hell, even parts of England grow wine now (ugh!). Now Washington wines, there is some very nice stuff comming out these days (just got back from a nice wine tour of eastern washington ;).
> And we know that Clearwine is an ice wine -- it has to freeze to be good.
We do? I always pictured it as more of a brandy type thing (maybe not using a distillation process, but stronger than usual wine). Ice wine would rather detract from the "magical clearwine grapes" brought up from Esrolia. On the other hand, given Sartar's "bitterly cold winters" and the comparative lack of sun, getting a high sugar content in the grapes would be fairly rare so sweet wines in that climate would be rare...
Obgloranthan wine: Can anyone suggest a winegrowing region or culture in Glorantha that has a good enough relationship to Mee Vorala/ the Vorulans to promote the benificial "Botrytis" fungus sprits in their vinyards? i.e. Where in Glorantha are the Trokenberenauslesse (I always screw up the spelling of that ;) or "Noble Late Harvests" produced? That would be a truely magical wine for most gloranthans. Maybe somewhere on the shadow plateau?
There are so many great potential wine heroquests out there... Maybe I should actually write them down sometime.
Cheers,
Yak (in oenophile mode)
