Pieter,
I am sitting in Sweden, it's mid wid winter and it's a blistering 14 minus outside. It's about half a meter of snow and the wind is sending siprales of dusty, cold sparkles upwards. In the mids of this cold, dark time of the year I went and bought the best meat one can get hold of in Sweden. You know the kind you don't have anything to. Just a piece of tender Sirloin that hang for eight weeks. To it I just opened what was known as the last ISA42 bottle in the world. A gentle ripple of fines cloudberrys and earthy tones blended with a almost citrus fresh tone of blueberry. I thought I smelled gingerbread but that sent passed to quickly. I have not tasted it yet, I rushed to the computer to let you in on this almost historic moment. ISA42 was made during your first year working with Blank bottle. I remember you telling your vision and me nodding and smiling at your passion. The passion remains and I am proud to call you my friend, not for the wines but for the hones and genuien soul you carry.
Only two thinks left. Taste the wine and take a fresh look at how to import the bottles that are everthing but blank.
Yours,
David J Soderlund,
Stockholm, Sweden
