[MM-MALTS-L] Wine in Tuscany - Off-Topic request for info

[Walt Mooromsky]

Hi Ralph
Back to topic then -
Keep your eyes open for some unique Macallan's.  Italy used to be the  
only market for the 7yo, and I found an 8yo fine oak there last year.
I have not opened the 8yo, but I did try the 7yo.  I once put it  
beside a 12yo, 18yo & 25yo - that was interesting to see what aging  
was doing.
