Well, I know I didn't list some wines I tasted (like the Taittinger
from the 12L bottle)
Let's just say I wasn't tempted to drive when I got to my village- I
took a cab home rather than walk 1.5 miles. But I wasn't totally
sloshed- I'm a big guy and I was taking small pours (and dumping,
though I didn't do much actual spitting).
