I have a new calling.

French vineyard owners are returning to a slower pace of life by starting to export their wine by sailing boat - a method last used in the 1800s - to reduce their carbon footprint

Yay! Can I sign up to serve on the jolly wine-boat too?

Trouble is, I suspect that when we got to our destination, the hold would be found to be mysteriously less wine-filled than it was when we set sail.

And the finger of blame would doubtless be pointed in my direction as I staggered around the deck, hickuping and singing about goblins...

Hurray! Black Adder reference!

And you wouldn't be the only one. Part of the reasoning behind the new life calling: free French wine.

See the little goblin,
see his little feet.
And his little nosy-wose,
isn't the goblin sweet?

Mind you, I have to say that I've not been very impressed by the French stuff I've had lately. I much prefer stuff from South America. A nice chewy Chilean Merlot is just the ticket for me! :)

I'm going to embarrass myself and say I like the cheap, four dollar fruity wine. *snickers* But now, I'm off to look for a "chewy" Chilean Merlot.

I will say, the best wine I ever had came from Germany. My friends honeymooned there (she had family) and visited some castle somewhere that had a vineyard. I believe she brought back a Riesling, but I cannot remember for sure. Anyway, it was so smooth and warmly delicious that I nearly inhaled the entire bottle at one go.
