I image with the mullahs in charge there will be no renaissance of this terrific story.
I belong to a wine club through Rosenblum Cellars of California, renowned for their zinfandels. They occasionally send me some of their syrahs which have been nothing short of outstanding.
Cyrus, perhaps you should ping the wine ping list for this one.
To: quantim
Can you ping the wine list?

“I could drink much wine and yet bear it well” The scribes always pretty it up. What he really said was:
"I can drink you b******* under the table any day of the f****** week! [burp!]"

Too bad islam got Persia. Everything it touches rots.

Persia: Land of fine wine and beautiful women.
My ex-girlfriend told me, however, that Scotch and Vodka are much more popular in Tehran these days than wine.

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honor -- Well,
I wonder often what the Vintners buy
One half so precious as the stuff they sell.

Shiraz, on the north west corner of Clinton and Arapahoe in Denver. Great place to eat.
