To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine (and those who don’t). As Ben Franklin once said, In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) – bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = Poop
Wine = Health
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of s***.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information; I’m doing it as a public service.

Once again Lawrence has walked the extra mile to stage our most popular annual event. The walk will be a bit shorter but the fun goes on. Lawrence has been working with two outstanding merchants in the Crestwood shopping centre, Satesh of Crestwood Fine Wines and Jeff of Jeffrey’s Café.
You may remember Satesh from our April Event. He supplied and told us about the great St Hallett wines we had then. We are looking forward to seeing him in his store to taste, learn and sample 2 wines and home made appetizers.
9658 – 142 Street Edmonton
Afterward we will skip over to Jeffrey’s Café, a new venue for us, where Jeff will serve us 2 Australian wines from his menu and a choice of two soups and his great Italian sandwich.
The third course remains a secret you will only know if you come to the event…
Time: 7:00 pm Location: 9658 142 St. Edmonton
