He lost me at stuffing the barrel hole with dung.

Had another colonial 7th ggrandfather, Sidney Breese, who had his wine imported from Europe in bottles embossed with his name in the glass. Would have loved finding that on ebay but undoubtedly WAAAY over my budget.

I'm a teetotaler but also a wine collector for my husband. Used to be able to do vertical sniffings, since I couldn't do tastings. Was too tempted once by a '61 Lafite Rothschild and put a drop on my tongue. It was everything they said. No matter how much water I drank or crackers I ate, I couldn't get the taste of that one drop out of my mouth.
