KRC Small Batch #2

  

I've just finished mailing, emailing and calling all the members of the small batch club to tell them their bottles are in. Batch #2 is a limited run of only 500 bottles and combines a blend of Swan Valley Port, Sherry and our very own reserved barrel strength Rum. My first hand account is that this batch is smoother than the first and thereby has much stronger caramel notes to it.

The best way to find out is to try it for yourself, so drop in and try a drop!

Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the River Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air.
Marie leans over to Pierre and says, "Pierre, kiss me !!"
Pierre grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie lips.
"What are you doing, Pierre ?" says the startled Marie.

"I am Pierre, the fighter pilot !! When I have red meat, I have red wine !!"
She smiles and they start kissing.
Things began to heat up a little and Marie says, "Pierre, kiss me lower."
Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and pours it on her breasts.
"Pierre !! What are you doing now ?" asks the bewildered Marie.

"I am Pierre, the fighter pilot !! When I have white meat, I have white wine !!"
She giggles and they resume their passionate interlude, and things really steam up.
Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, "Pierre, kiss me much lower !!"
Pierre rips off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Backburn and pours it in her lap. He then strikes a match and lights the rum on fire. Marie shrieks and dives into the River Seine. Standing waist deep, Marie throws her arms into the air and screams furiously, "PIERRE, WHAT THE F**K DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING ?"

Our 'hero' stands and says defiantly,
"I am Pierre, the fighter pilot !!
If I go down, I go down in flames !!"
