Yeah, I'd forgotten that term. I always thought it applied to the disturbance of the wine going from barrel to bottle. But I guess excessive movement of the bottle might have the same effect.

I'll try an experiment next time I have a few people over and I know I'll be serving more than one bottle of the same wine. If I give one bottle a good shaking a few times during the day that should simulate shipping and handling effects. Then do a blind tasting to see if there is a noticable difference.

I'll keep my eye out for the Lewis. Tried your Riesling last night. Very nice. Your description of apricots and peaches was right on. I like that yours had the feel of a good Mosel, but maybe with a bit more muscle. Good balance of sugar and acid.
