RE: Thanks for the lesson

There are many many things to fine with. Fish Bladders, clay, milk, egg whites.
There is a story around here about a winemaker stuck with a very large tank of really bad riesling. A really large tank! He tried all sort of things. Finally he hit on milk. The story goes that he needed so much that he had to go to the nearby dairy.
When he was done he was left with a pretty much tasteless and odorless liquid. But it was way more valuable than something that had to be put down the drain.
In gigantic blends of 20k cases, you can hide little bits of things.
I would call and tell them what you found. Tell them it ruined your last glass and see what they say. Tell them that you loved the first 3, and are curious about what happened. See if they offer you anything. I would send a replacement no questions asked, but not everyone gets customer service.
Let us know what happens.
