"He himself stopped drinking the stuff eight years ago."

No wonder he died early.

Click to be +/- on this low volume wine ping list.

Off-topic, non-oenology news ping.

Reason for the ping - wine anthropology is most similar to beer anthropology when appreciating antiquity.

Three ex-wives and a current one could not have had anything to do with it, LOL!

...crawling into Egyptian tombs to read hieroglyphics about beer...

Breathing cave air = respiratory failure; should have spent more time "drinking the stuff".

RIP none-the-less...

the world’s oldest beer advertisement, dating to roughly 4000 B.C. In it a Mesopotamian stone tablet depicted a headless woman with enormous breasts holding goblets of beer in each hand. The tagline, at least in his interpretation, was: “Drink Elba, the beer with the heart of a lion.”

Even then they were using sex to sell beer.
