#2 You used to buy French Wine? With a winery just down the road? Tsk-tsk. I don't mind helping out the French wine makers a bit now and then. It's good stuff.

#3 The winery on the hill used to be good 10 years ago. Its all overly sweet stuff now. The old man who started the business has left it to others. I dont recommend it anymore.

Now the Australians can make some very good wine at a decent price.

#4 There is a Scottish wine--Buckfast. "True to its name, Buckfast will get you "bucked up" real fast. Buckfast was thick, with a strong taste of molasses. There was also a hint of some type of herb reminiscent of oregano, and a soapy aftertaste."

#5 #4: "a soapy aftertaste

Mama's dead. I don't get my mouth washed out with soap anymore - why would I volunteer?
