A Public Service Announcement

This message goes out to all my friends who drink wine regularly, to my friends who enjoy a glass of wine occasionally and to those who don't...

.

As Ben Franklin said: in wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria. In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day (and most of our training friends do that, right?), at the end of the year we have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E coli) - the bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. Major ewww factor!

.

However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine and beer (or tequila, run, whisky, or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember the formula this way: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
.

Therefore, it is better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of sh*t. And, again there is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I am doing it as a pro-bono public service. So, drink up Toute Le Monde!! That reminds me..it's cellar tidying time again. Who's up for the proceeds?

Yummage Du Jour:

.
2005 The Colonial Estate GSM Envoy, 93 points (Drink 2006-2014. ). The compelling 2005 Envoy GSM’s blue/purple color is accompanied by gorgeous aromas of graphite, camphor, blueberries, blackberries, and acacia flowers. Dense, full-bodied, and rich, with extraordinary purity and precision, it was aged completely in French oak. This beauty should drink well for 7-8 years. But, who can wait that long...drink it NOW!! Guaranteed to be better than the Koolaid...
