That Greenfield feller that is always growin' borers big enough for fish bait 
and so tough you can catch three bream on just one, has a nice, nice looking 
seedling with fuzzy, fuzzy full read beards on his web site. The cross was 
Mulled Wine x Champagne Elegance.

He got a completely different result from what I would have expected. I'm 
sure I'll be attempting the same cross after seein' that picture.
