Hey! Falstaff was a really good beer for the money. Papa Joe Griesedieck took great pride in his product, as did the Lemp family before him.

Falstaff was a vastly better beer than the opera!

Does this mean Shap and I agree on something?!

OK...here are mine: Top 14 reasons for drinking wine (no order) (couldn't think of 17)

1. It tastes good
2. I like to fool myself into believing that I am sophisticated
3. It's good to support illegal aliens
4. Getting drunk
5. Gives me something to do with my hands at parties
6. It beats the heck out of beer
7. The garbage men are always impressed with the empty wine bottle collection
8. After drinking a bottle I get real smart and everything seems funny
9. Getting up in the morning and brushing the black stuff off of my teeth and tongue is fun
10. Wine racks make good furniture
11. Wineries give the stuff away for free!
12. I can argue with other wine snobs about vintages
13. In vino veritas
14. It gives me something to post on the B.com BB
