Joseph H. Vilas I got the nocino! In fact it arrived some days ago but nobody told me. Wow, it’s really bitter. Wondering if I should try sweetening it. Thanks for sending it to me! I appreciate it. More notes when I’ve experimented a bit.

Cool. Glad it arrived ok. I was worried I’d over-sweetened it. Next year, I think I’ll leave the sweetening to the drink preparer.
The other thing to think about: the nocino will get less bitter with time. I read one person who said theirs was so bitter they gave up on it and used it as wood stain. 🙂 After a year or two, they happened to taste it again, and found it excellent. I also know someone who tasted some in Italy that was 30 years old, and it was delicious.
Anyway, it’s yours to do with what you like. If it winds up being unpalatable or otherwise useless, I won’t take it personally at all, since it was an experiment performed in a rush and under less than ideal circumstances. I’m glad it came out as well as it did. 🙂

Oh, remember it will stain the bejebus out of things. The guy who used it as wood stain had it right. 🙂
