As an avid Graco/Ginny fan and a sommelier, I would like to thank you for the best fanfic I've ever read. It made my night, and your knowledge of wine is impecable.
Author's Response: Well, your review made my night! I tried very had not to say anything wrong about the wine, and I am glad I managed to do it. Thank you very much for reading and for the review!

I adore this story! It's sophisticated, yet playful, and I would compare it to a wine, but I'm only 17, haha. How did you become so knowledgeable about wine? This story makes me want to become a connoisseur myself one day! Your characters were very strong, clever, and well-developed. I enjoyed every sentence.
Author's Response: Thank you very much for the lovely review! I learned so much about wine by drinking a huge quantity of it over several years, and reading about it occassionally. I highly recommend it, once you are old enough. Thanks again for the review!

HAHA: "Liebfraumilch" love-woman-milk!
Author's Response: Yes, it is sort of funny, isn't it? Unfortunately, I didn't make it up. There really is a kind of wine called that. It is sweet and white, hence the name.

The story was lovely. And the "Tasting notes" were very insightful and as well written and interesting as your story was, I have to say the "Tasting notes" blew me away. I am still an amatuer wine drinker and cannot tell the difference, but I hope I'll be able to do it as well as you one day. Thanx
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I hope that you keep drinking wine, and keep thinking about it--it takes some practice to be able to tell the difference between wines, but I'm sure you'll be just as good at it as I am (probably better!) if you want to be. Thanks for reading and for the review.

Terrific ending for a lovely story. Congratulations on having it translated into Russian!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I haven't heard anything more from the person who asked to translate it, so I have no idea if it will actually happen. Translation can be slow work, though, so maybe one day I will have a pleasant surprise!

*sigh* That was a beautiful story... Your Draco's personality was adorable :). I loved all his inner thoughts and embarrassing moments. Oh, and everything you taught us about wine was fascinating, too! And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like wine... or anything alcoholic, for that matter - I'm just one of those weird people who doesn't like the taste of wine/beer/etc :). (the same applies to coffee; I HATE coffee)
Author's Response: I hate coffee too, but strangely really like the way it smells. Strange, huh? I'm glad that you enjoyed both the story and the information. Thanks for the review!

I have never learned so much from a fan fiction story. This was truly amazing and I loved every word I read. You make me have the sudden erge to go and taste a couple of different wines and I'm only 19!
Author's Response: Well, I won't encourage you to go out and try a bunch of different wines until you are of age where you live. But once you are, you should definitely try it! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks for reading and for the review.

This is a lovely story, and I most particularly like your tasing notes! I felt sorry for poor old Amber - though I guess she was clueless - you could have given her a nice riesling, most restaurants with brilliant wine lists have them, and then Draco would've been OK too - depending on what he was eating, of course. My strategy, when eating out with someone who prefers sweeter, cheapish wines is to buy two bottles - then neither have to suffer!
Author's Response: A Riesling might have done the trick, though I can't imagine Draco drinking anything off-dry. He strikes me as a dry-wine-with-dinner-or-sweet-wine-with-dessert kind of guy. Thanks for reading and for the reviews!

You never cease to catch me in the crossfires with your stories. I have a taste for wine myself and I've found highly amusing to see you put this in a story as well. Especially to Draco's personality and love matching wine to women. Pansy's words really hit him though. Thannnxxx
