I finally got to try Tokaji Aszu the other night (the class was Central/Eastern Europe and many other random countries, and I was really hoping the Hungarian representative wouldn't be Bull's Blood). I love sweet wines when they've got a good backbone of acidity to them, which this did. It was the Domaine Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos. Now I'm going to have to experiment with different levels and different producers... ah, the slippery slope...

Along the vein of sweet stuff, I've been reading lots of good things about the 2003 Vintage Ports. I'm thinking if I buy some they may be ready to drink when I'm celebrating my retirement.... Any Port drinkers out there with particular recommendations?

And finally, does anyone have any particular recommendations for under-the-counter wine cooler/refrigerators? I may be gut-renovating a kitchen in the nearish future, and I figure if I'm going to go through the hassle I at least want a wine fridge (given that I'm in NYC, I'm hesitant to buy anything larger, although the price differential doesn't seem that great).
