Couldn't resist...

Went to the supermarket this morning and I saw this bottle of wine. I didn't buy it because of the "silver medal" it was awarded at a wine contest, but I instantly thought of my English speaking friends

"Seigneurie" means domain, manor, "un seigneur" is a lord.

It reminded me of one of the cheapest, and best wine I had when I was in Scotland, in the late 70s : Château Plonque

"Domain of Arse" is of course funnier in British English, but I'm sure our American friends can appreciate this unvoluntary form of humour too...

LOL!!

Thanks, Alain! Will you be using this to toast the new year? Might want to reconsider, perhaps?

I definitely would not bring this to someone as a house-warming gift!

I'd give it as a gift and pretend not to notice.
