Subject: Boon Framboise & Faro 

 
Last night, I opened two bottles of Boon that have been "aging" in my 
cellar since last fall.  When we first tasted the Framboise last fall, 
it was nice, but totally flat.  The Faro was quite sweet.  The bottles 
I opened last night were very different.  The Framboise had a nice 
effervescence, and made a pretty, pink head when poured.  The Faro was 
dryer, not at all sweet, but not sour, either.  Very nice, indeed. 

 
When the Boon products first hit the "states" last year, there was 
some discussion about aging them.  My experience indicates that this 
does, indeed, improve them. 

 
Yum.

Subject: Belgium -- when to visit? 

 
Stephen, in his very interesting reports, writes:

                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

 
Since my wife and I are planning to take a trip to Belgium next year, 
we would be interested to know is there a rainy season?  When is it? 
What would be the best time of year to visit? 

 
Al.
