ATTENTION, OENOPHI OEONIPH WINE-LOVERS
Remember Kikkoman? The superhero who came from the Planet of Soy? He is now in the wine business. You know it will be a tasteful wine, because Kikkoman is a tasteful guy.

The characters on his loin cloth translate to "My lunchbox is bigger than Becks', and requires no airbrushing to enhance my impressive Goldenballs."

Kikkoman, the soy sauce company, is not actually associated with Kikkoman the superhero.

But still wine made by a soy sauce company? What if the pipes got mixed up?

"Astringent: A chemical that tends to shrink or constrict body tissues, usually locally after topical medicinal application."
Please explain why this is a good quality in a wine.

Hammond, because it does that to the inside of your mouth. That is what give red wine their characteristic taste.

Geez, Elon. Go ahead and ruin it for the rest of us!
LOL BJJB!

"...but suffered along with other Japanese wineries because of a flood of cheap imports." Sucks, huh?

That's why I always get my wine in a box. Who ever heard of soy boxes, right?
Posted by: Siouxie | June 20, 2008 at 11:55 AM
GMTA, Diva!
Posted by: Cat R | June 20, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Yup, Siouxie. I've heard of 'soy borracha,' but never 'soy boxes.'
