 Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:42 pm Post subject: VW Bus on a wine label |
 |
|
Hello all knowing and seeing folks in bus work. I saw a picture yesterday of a case of red wine. The case artwork was that of a split bus. The label on the wine had a red bus on it. The problem is it wasn't a good enough picture to be able to read what wine it was. All I could make out was the word RED. I don't believe the rest of the wording was in English. German,Spanish or Portuguese maybe? Has anybody out there seen this wine?

Interesting. I always thought wine paired better with a bay or vanagon.

funny, down here in Texas, the other volksies refer to the split bus folks as the "wine and cheese crowd". There's even wine and cheese served at the fundraiser auction during Texas Busfest weekend as a sort of joke... |

With the price increase of Buses over the last 10 years, I guess I can see that too.

Those Gaffel Kolsch mini kegs are hard to find in the states (NY seems to be the best bet) but I did find some online a few weeks ago and purchased all they had (3). I may bring the extra two to OCTO next month if I don't drink them first.

The only group that doesn't whine is the BDM.

That's the problem. If I could get the name I'd try to order some. I've blown the pic up, but then I can't read it at all. I don't think its in English.
