Don't drink Moldovan wine
I'm going to this tonight, are you?
I'm experiencing the painfullest Russian nostalgia. I'm entering a Moldovan Cab/Merlot into the system right now and around the neck of this elegant, barrel-shaped bottle (ah, the former Soviets and their novelty packaging) hangs a four-page leaflet (also barrel-shaped, for stylistic continuity) extolling the virtues of this inevitably dire wine...in Russian! So starved am I for the Slavic that this invokes in me an almost sexual excitement.
