This was really an enjoyable reading before going to sleep.

To say the truth, I'm not a wine lover, so usually this kind of subject hasn't that much of appeal for me...but they way you wrote everything was great, really. All the details about the different wines and everything (and it was even nice to read it, with all the descriptions even if I don't like wine I'm living in a place where they produce a lot of it, so I still know a very little bit about itI'm pretty sure the way you used descriptions for the wines was the reason why I didn't give up on the fic: you're specific but not boring and I loved it, really ( ... )

I'm glad I could make you smile. :) It was fun writing about something I really enjoy. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. ♥

OMG, this! I wish Kami no Shizuku had been like this! It would have been so much more watchable.

I love seeing the way Jin and Kame change between each section, the way the wine is present and meaningful throughout, the sweet ending with Madeira. Kame reaching out to Jin, on his break, making out in the wine cellar, Kame suggesting getting Jin's food to go... how much happens between the lines and we're just getting the highlights, the top notes that let you put the rest of it together.

I also love that Jin and Asami's relationship doesn't end with cheating or anything where someone's a bad guy, but that the cracks that are visible from the start, the way Jin says "we're getting married" but checks for a ring on the sommelier's hand, the way Asami keeps saying "I'm having a baby", so you know that's why they're getting married.

Cheating again! ♥ Did you do this to throw people off?

What do you mean cheating? ^.^ I loved reading this story.

(Possibly to throw people off?)

The way Jin and the knowledge of wine developed was really nice, I liked the little details you put in, so it was interesting but not overwhelming. I also appreciated that Umiko and Asami were always very important to Jin, and even when he probably expected that he was thinking about Kame too much he didn't act on it either. Lovely read!

Nice fic! I kind of went OMG when Jin mentioned they are getting married and there's a baby because that's complicated and I liked how you worked through that :) Its also great that the story took time to bring them together - if that makes sense. And the details you put in about the wines and stuff turned this into a lovely read! Thank you!

Life is complicated. :) Thanks so much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
