It isn't cake.... And it isn't layered.... But it is smooth and unoffensive, if not overly sugared... — 7 years ago

Like the part in Willy Wonka where they drink the Fizzy lifting drinks and float joyously in the air. Lovely apple, pear, grapefruit flavors. Wonderfully smooth bubbles. Dances across the palate like a sexy ballerina. An Excellent celebration wine! — 7 years ago

Sitting on the soft, grassy hillside of a beautiful Tuscan Villa, looking out over the peaceful rolling hills, bathed in sunshine. As you take in this magestic pastoral scene, a stranger appears.... he's wearing a baseball cap and listening to an iPod.... Must be an American. But, strangely.... This adds to the experience. — 7 years ago

The big, burly bully across the bar. Built like an oak tree, he swaggers over, insults your shirt, hits on your girlfriend, and drinks your beer. And yet, once you get to know him a little you find that beneath his heavy, oakey mannerisms he actually has some richness and depth. He collects action figures from the 80s, loves old Sophia Loren movies, and volunteers at the local animal shelter. He's not an amazing person, but he's worth getting to know a little... — 7 years ago
