Bob,

Your post reminded me of a trip we took to Hong Kong about ten years ago with some friends. One night, after a great dinner at a highly-recommended restaurant, our waiter suggested that we try their best rice wine with our dessert. We all said we'd give it a try, and after it arrived in a beautiful silver pitcher, one of our friends was the first to taste it. When we asked for his reaction, he said, "Think wet dog". He was right!
