2023+24+25+26/27 + gift (Gerrits)
summer 2023....Crystal drank, and she did not like it. I'm sure it was that familiar SA aroma that isn't for everyone.
Feb 2024....had with Nora, with turkey chilli that we brought home from Sun Peaks made by Dawn). We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Tastes better with a little aeration, even 15 minutes but one hour better.
