Douglas L. Lamb is pleased to announce OLD FELLA RED CLARET "The Big 69'er" AN UNUSUAL "Rough-as-Guts" wine that has the Distinctive Bouquet of old and ill-cared for animals. It is best drunk with the teeth clenched to prevent ingestion of the seeds and skins. Connoisseurs will savour the slight Tannin Taste of burnt shag feathers and soiled medical dressings. Possessors of a cultivated Palate admire the initial assault on the taste buds which comes from the careful and loving blending of circus hosings with perished jock strpas. The maturing in Midland Abattoir hogsheads gives it a very Definite Nose. In the United States this wine is marketed as Crow Brand (9 out of 10 people wo drink it for the first time exclaim "VRAAAARRRRRK"). It won a Bronze at the 'Kings Cross Homosexuals Convention' of 1973 Caution: avoid contact with the eyes and open cuts. Keep away from naked flames- both old and new.
