Arsenic and Old Wine

[AlaMoi]

surprised this hasn't surfaced here.....

 

DW informed me my favorite vintner is poisoning me with (up to) 10X the amount of arsenic allowed in drinking water.....

 

well, it's Beringer Estate whites I like; the Beringer name turned up in the 'poisoned' list, and since the couch is not really _that_ comfy, I opted not to debate the point that, but Dear, all wines are not the same.....

 

on researching this a bit it turns out some entrepreneurial spirit started a business to arsenic test wines. he files a lawsuit, totally in the blind, and sends out blubs offering his services same day.  (Kevin Hicks, BeverageGrades is the wholesome individual of question.....)

 

CBS had his tests replicated - not on the same bottles, obviously - but curiously, gosh, nobody could find any results similar to the guy selling his testing services.

 

anybody die of arsenic poisoning lately?

I believe we began discussing this in the Trader Joe's product topic.
