The Cultural Melding Pot

Longshots love a bit of culture. Especially a culture that embraces ideals close to our hearts, like fine food and wine. Take for example the French. Sure they may get underhanded when it comes to lying on the bottom of a ruck, or perhaps a little overwrought in the heat of the moment and simply headbutt you in front of millions... Or forget to finish a heavily fortified defensive line, thinking with a gaelic shrug of the shoulders, "les boches, zey will never break zhru zat.." thus leaving themselves open to a simple flanking manoeuvre through Belgium. But sweet baby jesus, they know how to make wine. And they don't fuck around either. We're not talking your 700ml bottle here. Oh no. If they gonna bottle some wine, then they're gonna do the job properly and we're talking 1.5 (count 'em) 1.5 litres of devine, bottled goodness. Ladies and gentlemen, raise your berets to a 2001 Chateau le Vieille Forge....





As a post script this kind of wine is made even more impressive when presented to you by your girlfriends parents at your first introduction... vive la france!!




au revoir
