If, perchance, you cooked that chicken in lard, I guess it would be a good match.

Had there been such a thing as a wine bong back in high school, I'm sure I would've still earned the same nickname - it just would have had a classier connotation.

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:54 AM

Some people (more old-school) believe that "old vines" produce better wine, but we know that overall quality considers many more factors. And, as vines get older, they get more gnarled. There you have it.
