Straw jacketed decanters?

Hi Mat,

I'll check it out next time I'm near a Safeway. With Ruffino Chianti it does seem to be a case of "all your base are belong to us". Mind you a friend recently passed along a cleanskin Sangiovese from north east Vic(?), full of juicy berries, spice and tang that really surprised me (easy to do admittedly). God knows who produced it and where my friend got it... must ask.

I learnt da cerrect tsipping technik from a limey dude, Brian Strumpet abot

1934 on a sales trip to France. He and his missus own Da Gague and Heave Inn outside of Bone....he was head guy fer da Cork Dawks. He n his best bud Michael from Quebec who lived near Da Reiveria, woud put a big glop of wine on der tungs, vistle a tune like Mahlers lost children and dem flip it from side to side so da tung was coated ( a 38 short) den dey eithe got farclempt and spit or spritzed or if dey was eating Brians Yuckshire puddin, swallow. Den dey shtarted shouting too much TCA or unctuous, belched, passed major vind and shtarted over again. I waz a grand time and I unloaded all mine 1925 Chateau Tres Fascista--Lindboig cuvee on Brian an his wife Suqui fer dere vine list.............

I hear you Muzza. Nothing worse than being farklempt *and* gassy, or as my great uncle StJohnNinja used to put it, "getting caught playing a bum note on the backdoor trumpet."

Cheers

PS. I've heard rumors about the '25 Chateau Tres Fascista--Lindboig cuvee... for instance did a CIA satellite really confuse a case of this wine with a WMD dump and that's why the troops were sent into Iraq?

Murray writes "Blaming da war in Iraq on a bad quaff of the Tres Fascista is wrong, da Prez don't do booze anymore Ast Dan Rather dat!!!!but his bud Billy Grahm could sure put away da sudz in his younger days...he waz at a big parteee over at Strom Thoimuns and was soived a taste of the Tres Fascista by one of de Annenboig of racing wire, TV Guide and diplomite --- dey hoid dat da Shah had put some away in Baghdad on his last trip dere. So dey got der bud, Prince Schmata of da Saudi's to order der busnis potner Dick Cheney to order da Prez to get dem more. When Saddum toined George W. down den dey had to be taken on...................
