Ha ha ,well the guy is hardly a wine connoisseur so maybe you are right !
Just thinking about the amount of the fine -- 75 bucks won't even get you a motel for the night around here , I was at a couple of bike shops the other day KTM $102/hr ,Kawi $92/hr labour charge .That kind of puts it in perspective .

Strawberry Hill is from the Vineyards de Boone, along with Apple and a few other chioce grapes. They usually age their fine wines, such as these, for many minutes. Another trademark is this winery is it's use of convenient screw top bottle closures, insuring freshness.
When their wines are forcefully expelled from the human stomach onto a lawn, the grass does not die. As a young lad very interested in unusual chemistry, I performed some interesting tests.

I think we assumed you got the joke about the cheap wines. The drinks mentioned are ultra cheap liquors that are very popular in places like the skid rows of America, or college students who need to get drunk but can't afford enough to do the job.

Drinky poos
Canucks don't drink sherry [much]
At a friend's party the hostess was distracted as she was serving drinks ,when she returned a couple of "rustics" had poured themselves a sherry -half pint glasses full of Harveys Bristol Cream and ice !
Very unusual .

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
