Ironically enough, I changed the page on my daily wine calendar and the title of the page is "Rotten Luck". I just had a good chuckle when I flipped the page. It's basically the story of how in the late 1600s the Hungarians were too busy fighting off the Turks to tend to their vineyards. After the battle, they found that the grapes were rotted on the vines. They made the wine anyway and found that that the small amount of concentrated liquid inside each grape tasted like honey and that's how one of the worlds best dessert wines was "invented".
Perhaps I'm not having bad luck. I may just be on the verge of a new creation. ;-)
