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.
