Cis: DFO, Why No Comment On Red Wine

Cis: DFO, how come you haven't rang in here? You have comment before to tasting the grape. Do you do just red?

DFO: Indeed, you're right, Cis; I enjoy wine. At a minimum, I drink a small glass before bed. At a maximum, I enjoy sipping a glass or two with family members and friends. I'll drink an occasional beer on a particularly hot day during the summer. Haven't had much taste for beer since my college days, B.C. I remember what an old Southern Baptist minister once told me about beer: "If I wanted a beer," he said in his smooth southern drawl, "I'd go out into the corral (pronounced KOR-ral) and ketch it fresh."
