It is amazing - on the other side of brooklyn for me, it was actually faster for me to take the train into Manhattan to get here than the bus across town (and I went to trader Joes to get two boxes of wine from Australia - 3liters each), and it is well worth the trip. Now en route to the Mermaid parade in coney island, where I will be awash in barely covered bodies, each attempting to look more like a merfolk than the person next to them. Gonna be awesome. Maybe even fawsome.Monty Python Australian Table Wines
Where are the wines from?
Barossa Valley wines are the oldest continious wineries the Barossa Germans are a little like the Pennsylvania Dutch exept their German dialect is Prussian/Silesian. It's not spoken as much anymore sadly. The wines from the Barossa are obviously German style wines and very highly regarded.
In the Hunter River Valley has the oldest tradition but in fits and starts and not with the same levels of skill of the Barossa until about 60 years ago. They have been building up a very nice range of wines. My favourite is the Briar Ridge Gewürztraminer.
Margaret River in Western Australia has some of the best wines. Very expensive.
Canberra is trying to start up some wineries but what I have had so far is like the city itself nice but a bit bland.
My guilty pleasure is the wines from a small town called Mudgee... They have excellent fortified wines and they have a couple of mead producers.
Before we had the Dwarflings Mrs 8D and used to get together with friends hire a mini bus and tour either the Hunter or Mudgee wineries. Mudgee had the best pubs and the best steaks.
Uh..It's just called Block Wine. It's in a brown box. It says Wine of Australia at the bottom. The red is a shiraz, the white is a chardonnay- with notes of GREEN APPLE?! I gotta try that.

So...what's the FAWTL plan for aliens invading the earth again?
I'm gonna get drunk and walk towards the ship waving a white flag and letting them know I'm a friend. I fully expect to be vaporized, thus sacrificing myself so that humanity may learn of the invaders nefarious purpose.

If they maskerade as attractive humans I intend to boldly go where no man has gone before and become the alien invasion male version of Mata Hari.
Alternatively I'll do the whole die in a blaze of pointless glory as I attempt to shoot down their mothership with a bow and arrow.

I have it on good authority that Sharoth runs the Home Shopping Network.

We invaded your planet through our infiltration unit designated Steve Jobs. He manufactured small portable information holders-disseminators using our superior technology. Over time these will evolve into a cybernetic mega brain in control of your species. The best part is you will all pay a monthly subscription fee for your subjugation

It's sick, but we may actually need someone to do that.

I think he'd make a delicious shwarma.
