[/B]The committee also says its cellar's finest Armagnac is best reserved for "use with European guests".

That's why you go Tokaji when you are choosing fine wine, you cannot go wrong.

Too fucking bad you're getting some anyway.

more like the wine cellar
this is absolutely outrageous and I expect no less than a declaration of war against Europe from the US!
The UK mainly acts like a bunch of stuck-up pricks towards the US anyways, so this is right in character. On the other hand, at least they aren't wasting perfectly good wine on Obama.
Sounds like an exciting visit was ruined by the presence of that [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ysUg5S4lRI"]liquid filth[/URL]. Acidic is a word I would expect from other kinds of drink like a citric soda, but soapy is a word that really shouldn't pop up in the description of a beverage unless it is a medicinal preparation intended for helping wash your mouth out.

No, you've always been stuck-up pricks; it's just that you've only had the opportunity to express it in recent years.
