Trivia: Where would you find this quote?

On a wine plaque or sign at a local wine bar?

Salute

Could be Victor, but not my source.
Cheers,

On a sign in a restaurant or bistro?

I'll post a clue later today (my down under day) but keep guessing in the mean time.

I'm guessing it has a French source - just from the poetic style and sentiment.

You can see it here: http://www.definiscommunications.com/bl ... -a-speech/
but I presume that is not the answer,

At a winery?

[James Roscoe]

I think it is a great philosopher or social observer. Could it be a translation from the Greek?

[David M. Bueker]

I've got it...Sue is the source!

OK - here's a clue. The clue is Spain.

[James Roscoe]

You call that a clue?

My last wild guess.....with romance like that it might well have been either the good Don Quixote or his faithful Sancho Panza.

On which I officially give up.

Aw Rogov, you've given up.

Recently I had a bottle of Spanish wine and it had a white synthetic cork on which this lovely quote was written. As I said, I have no idea of the source and as no-one is adamantly sure of the source either, the company's marketing boffs may even have written it themselves.

Anyone want to try and guess the wine. Clue: It was not Rioja, otherwise I would have mentioned it in the Rioja thread.

Old vines garnacha
Monastrell
Ribera del duero

JC, it indeed has Monastrell in the blend but no Garnacha and is not from Ribera del Duero.

Probably that upstart Jumilla.

Probably that upstart Jumilla would be right

Now what wine from Jumilla, with Monastrell as part of the blend, is likely to have a snazzy white synthetic cork printed with this evocative quote - in English no less?

[David M. Bueker]

Is there a Layer Cake from Jumilla?

Altos de Luzon?

in English no less?

A clue! Mad Dogs and Englishmen?

Is there a Layer Cake from Jumilla?

Layer cake was a term we used in geology to describe limestone formations. I like chocolate and cream layer cakes too. What layer cake are you talking about?

Not Altos de Luzon, btw.

in English no less?

A clue! Mad Dogs and Englishmen?

I thought I was giving out the clues.

I certainly hope you're not mucking about with Ordonez' Wrongo Dongo, Sue?

I don't muck about Hoke and you are wrongo.
Actually I don't think Wrongo Dongo comes into NZ.

Castillo de Jumilla?

close but no cigar.
