If you're planning on returning to Toledo, Mike, you'd at least best brush up on your Firesign Theatre lest you be left even more adrift than Doghead and DHP, Esq.

Repeat after me as we learn our first three words in winegeek.
Variety. Varietal. May I drink your Piesporter please?
 
I've quite often had Ponsot's Mont Luisants. My large stash of the 99 has gone but it was an absolutely fabulous wine. I still have quite a lot of 77, which is invigorating to say the least, the perfect wine on a jambon persill. I never pass up an opportunity to drink older vintages at a fair price, and I have never been disappointed. In a different style the Clavelier can be tremendous, even once past its first freshness, though it has more body than one would expect. the Bouchard Aligot de Bouzeron is also pretty surprising, and recommended.

Yes, many. It's a top flight wine. There's an article about a tasting of them back to 1961 or 1959 in The World of Fine Wine from about 2 years or so ago.

Rahsaan, I think you missed the point. But jokes are much funnier when explained, so here goes:

I was making a play on the terms "Kir Royale" and "Royale with Cheese" with a nod to Brett, Vincent and and Jules' conversation in the 1994 movie "Pulp Fiction", as below:

Jules: Well, if you like burgers give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegitarian which pretty much makes me a vegitarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger. Mm-mm-mm. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Brett: No.
Jules: Tell 'em, Vincent.
Vincent: A Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart motherfucker. That's right. The metric system.

Is this word for word? Because I thought his name was Brad not Brett, and the line went "I do like me a tasty burger". I guess I am wrong. I will have to go back and watch.

C&P from imdb.com, but I can't recall if it's Brett or Brad.

This turned out the be pretty interesting. Because it sounds like Samuel L. Jackson flubbed the name in the line. Other places it is clearly Brett, but with the Big Brain line, it really sounds like he says Brad.

The only reason I noticed this at all is that back a long time ago I used to trot out the old "Check out the Big Brain on Brad" line when somebody came through with a key insight.

Anyway, you can hear the line at http://www.moviesoundscentral.com/pulpfiction.htm
 
That's too funny. But you can rest assured that you always said it right, because that is certainly what Jules is saying- or maybe something more like "Bread"

All these years, I thought it was Brad too.
