I want to walk into a bar in Nebraska wearing a beret and ask for a little glass of red wine.  French red wine.  I wonder how long I would last?


I've got clients in North Dakota, Nebraska, and in fact many of the "Red States". Without being political here, I just want to point out the sad observation that the QPR of wine available in any given state appears to be directly proportional to the number of Electoral Votes each state has. Sad when you can get nice cuts of beef, yet not a good wash to go with it...

I was quite surprised to find this one in ND though, it was in the markdown bin because "no one liked they couldn't read the label".

A Toureag for Arabia (what else),
and an Audi S4 for the UK (20K more for the RS4 just wasn't on for the time I'll use it).

And Colonel - what the hell was that car you posted above?  It certainly looks nothing like mine.

I was toying with the idea of getting a nice Audi but then realised that no car last more than 2 minutes in London without some form of damage.

It's a Vauxhall of course (with some Aussie genes).
Like adding some Shiraz to your Merlot?
