But ever since I was very little, and curious about all “those bottles” my parents kept for when people came over, I was allowed a sip of each, and was revolted each time. My parents assured me that I would like them “when I was old enough.” At 72, I am obviously still too young, because I still can’t stand the taste if any of them. If others enjoy them, by all means, guzzle away. As long as I’m not forced to drink the same stuff they do, it’s no skin off of my back. Chacun à son goût.
