The detection level of IBMP is 2 ng/L in water, and about 15 ng/L in red wines. IBMP may contribute to leafy-type aromas, even in concentrations as low as 2 ng/L (Allen 2006). Too much of this character disbalances the wine and results in the overall loss of complexity.

Most of our weddings are booked very far in advance. Sometime they get cancelled due to engagements breaking up, situations changing and the like. When we have a short notice slot ,we do offer it at a special price, as most other establishments also do. I hope that Candice's wedding was a special day for you, your bridal party and the guests!
