[QUOTE="TennesseeRains, post: 2850168, member: 1178"] :D I don't either which is why I asked! Now it's a Kermit Lynch...my sister-in-law drinks wine each evening per her doctor and I went to get her some for her birthday or something. Not knowing anything but to get 'RED'...I saw some Kermit with a Thomas Jefferson quote on it - so, well I bought it! :grin: She said it was good too - what a bonus. In looking up just why the quote was on the bottle, here is what I found: [b][i]In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lynch took objection to a regulation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that required wine bottles to be labeled with the Surgeon General's warning against alcohol consumption but prohibited any countering sentiment about the benefits of moderate wine drinking to be on the label. On numerous occasions, Lynch petitioned the BATF to allow him to add a statement about the benefit of wine to go with the Surgeon General's warning such as quotes by Louis Pasteur on the hygienic properties of wine, the Bible on wine's healing properties, and Thomas Jefferson on the pleasures that drinking wine can bring. After many trials, Lynch finally had his request approved[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
