Speaking Of Burgundy

For an average-priced good quality French burgundy wine - a red one - you will be paying a minimum, of seven hundred dollars a bottle, USD.

I have had DRC, so I have some idea of what they are currently making.

The sparkling white burgundies area is a slightly different thing, because here you are talking about the nuances of the grape without the skins. ...Which are very thin anyway, and difficult to get the color from for making the reds.

Humans have got technology, God has got, like,
dead leaves. They're complimentary though,
you have to admit.

Down here in Australia we have a sparkling red wine made completely from pinot noir grapes - and it is made in Nuriootpa South Australia. So we're are talking the Barossa Valley, South Australia. And they know what they're doing down there.

The price is seven Australian dollars.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, is going to pay you seven hundred dollars for it. 

Well you find me a better sparkling burgundy anywhere in the world and I'll give you a medal.

It is deep, dark, resinous - literally resinous - also utterly sweet and rich and luscious (is it luscious? Yes, it's luscious!) and tannin-y at the same time.

And seven whole dollars, which is around not even five dollars your money.

You pay one thousand five hundred for what are considered 'the world's best' sparkling burgundies - and you are completely wasting your money in a side-by-side comparison.

This is the world, though, you see. This is the human race. Never will they ever admit a thing is true, when they want to believe some other kind of nonsense which is perfectly untrue.

Theoretically, tonight London's Big Ben will chime again for the first time in four years.

I'm not going to name the wine I was talking about...

I guarantee you you will be able to get this wine in America. 'Cheap as chips' as they say in London town.

And by the way, unless things have drastically improved since the last time I was there, don't hold too many high expectations about 'London chips!' Or London town 'fish and chips' for that matter too when it comes to that as well.

Trust me my friends, when they open the Gates of Paradise, most people are looking in other directions.

'God save Queen Victoria the First.'
What it says, at the base line there.

Well don't you worry about the 'most people.' You just worry about yourself.

There's not that many people in here either, that's the cool thing.

Plenty of 'stuff' to go around.

Dionysus is not Jesus, right...

LOL

So you say.

"Jesus, thanks for the *'ng wine, dude, you've made me completely drunk!"

"Yeah no worries, Calvin. They're gonna crucify you in the morning."

"I don't think so, Jesus. Not this time. Different plan. We're playing my game now, sorry."

Where do they get this idea that the Kabbalah phrase 'ein sof' means 'infinite?'

It doesn't mean 'infinite.' The whole thing comes from the dangerous and deadly friction between Islam and the Spanish intellectual Jews. So they tried to pretend they were admitting the 'One-ness' thing of Allah.

Deep, dark, and resinous.

Means 'One Wisdom.' 

Well let me tell you something: 'Jesus,' this Jesus God guy that everything thinks is this benign simpleton -, is a highly advanced, intelligent, subtle, nuanced... ...cheap red.

He wants everyone to like Him. He wants to be accessible. And He's cheap and available.

He's basically everywhere. Except nobody wants to treat Him the way He should be treated.

Christians: 'I want to die and go to Heaven.'

Why? Why do you want to die and go to Heaven?

'Because things suck here.'

Oh really? You got five bucks? Ah * it. Here, give me your glass.

'WTF is that?!'

Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's called 'Heaven.'

'But what if it runs out?'

LOL

I don't know. Let's see if it can do that...

'But I just want to see Aliens... Hick!'

No problem. Throw some morning glories in there with the wine.

'But I want to fly around in their technology.'

You can't. You're drunk.

'Calvin, you're looking a bit strange. What's with those eyes of yours?'

Really? You don't say... How 'bout that... Like I said, you're drunk and you're not seeing straight. Here. Have another glass.
