kitty4me...Hi once again. I knew your question looked familiar to me.  In fact, it was one of MY posts that you asked about wine substitutes.

Here is the thread.....

I responded this morning to the other thread you posted under the 'Kitchen' forum.

Best to just post ONE thread with a single question, but I can understand your frustration, since you initially posted this a couple of years ago.
