The Wine Commonsewer : One! Two! Three! Four! United States Marine Corps!

In Vino Veritas

The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.
We appreciate your patronage.

One! Two! Three! Four! United States Marine Corps!

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

234 years ago at Tun Tavern, on the waterfront in the City of Brotherly Love, Uncle Sam's Misguided Children came squalling into this world. If you must go to war these boys is who you want at your back.

Commandant's message here.

Wonder if they'll be serving any of this at the Marine Corps Ball come Saturday:

My buddy Benito reviews it here.

For the guys out there that still think of wine as a girly drink, get over it. The Norwegian version of 'cheers!' is skål, which means 'skull'. This goes back to the practice of Vikings drinking wine* out of the hollowed-out skulls of their enemies.

As Ever,

TWC
