2015 Chiroubles, L'Aurore Des Cotes, Fabien Collonge, Burgundy.
Made from 45-year-old vines, this wine comes from a very small, hands-on producer. Only 335 cases of this 2015 Cru Beaujolais from the highest altitude vineyards in the region were produced. Aged for 6 months in concrete vats, the wine is fruity with ripe characters, concentration and firm tannins as well as a generous fruit characters, like blackcurrant and cassis. The palate is well-balanced with smooth tannins, quite velvety in texture, layers of ripe black fruits mixed with spice finished with freshness and a savoury acidity.
The film is a parody of the epic film genre, including the sword and sandal epic and the period costume drama subgenres. The four main segments consist of stories set during the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Inquisition, and the French Revolution. Other intermediate skits include reenactments of the giving of the Ten Commandments and the Last Supper.
Mel Brooks as Moses - History of the World, Part I (1981)
Michel Gérard Joseph Colucci, better known under his stage name "Coluche " (28 October 1944 – 19 June 1986) -aged 41, was a French stage comedian and cinema actor. He had this famous quotation.
" Camarades, camarades! D'aucuns diront que le syndicalisme est à la société moderne ce que le mercurochrome est à la jambe de bois. A ceux là je dirai, rappelez vous l'essentiel : Le capitalisme, c'est l'exploitation de l'homme par l'homme! Le syndicalisme, c'est le contraire!"
"Comrades, comrades! Some will say that trade unionism is to modern society what mercurochrome is to the wooden leg. To those I will say, remember the essential: Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man! Trade unionism is the opposite!”
This poster is from 1911. How can you possibly try and gaslight us in 2024 that capitalism is actually a good thing or that we don't understand what"real capitalism" is???
A sexy wine will arrest your senses on every level. The color will be as rich and mesmerizing as the eyes of your lover, and just as easy to lose yourself in. The aroma, an intoxicant in and of itself, will seem to simultaneously effuse a comfortable familiarity, as well as an exciting sense of the unknown. On the palate, the wine will be so rich, decadent, and hedonistic that you feel a very real fear of being overwhelmed. At least until it is gone. Then, your only fear is that you may never be able to taste it again. A sexy wine must make you feel as though you have fallen in love for the first time.
