Do you hate America? Even worse [ SHUDDER] do you support Iran?
eta: a little research also shows that the California Senate voted to make Zinfandel the "historic wine" of California.
Why do you hate Zin? Dp you [ SHUDDER] hate the great state of California?
Spanky, take note of his answers, you may want to talk to Arnold about excommunication. I hear Nevada has some nice boxed Shiraz to offer.

On the recommendation of a local wine store, my wife bought me a bottle of Morambro Creek shiraz, a tasty bottle from Oz. I have no reason to doubt that they recommended an Aussie wine because of Prime Minister Howard's support in the GWOT, and I have no reason to believe it had anything to do with John Quiggan.
