Nah, over here in Canada people won't drink 'em phoney Frenchie Merlots.
We grow our own instead, down by Niagara way. The younger the vine, the healthier the wine, that's what we say!
I do have a couple of weirdly labelled 1945 Mouton-Roths-somethingerother (what's this about Annie's dee la Victoire, anyway?) that're taking up cellar space I need for some jen-you-wine Canadian Vidal Icewines. Sweet!
You can have 'em Old Bordelos for your funky handlebar corks, no charge for that plonk inside, but they're for local pickup only, so no shipping or no-no PayPal !
