The regular taster at a winery died, and the director started looking for a replacement.
A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came in to apply for the position. The director of the winery wondered how to send him away. But he gave him a glass of wine to try....
The drunk took a mouthful and said: 'It's a Muscat , three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade, but acceptable.'
"That's correct", said the boss.
Another glass...."This is a Cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for the very best results"
"Correct."
A third glass..."It's a Pinot Blanc Champagne, high grade and exclusive,'' the drunk said calmly.
The director was absolutely astonished.
He winked at his secretary, with a mischievous smile and she left the room. Back she came, 3 minutes later, with a glass of yellowish water, and winked back at her boss.
The alcoholic tried it, and said, "Mmmm, lovely nose....a bit fruity, medium bodied, and a touch spicy. This can be laid down for a few more years.
I should also add ....It's definitely a blonde, 28 years old, mature for her age, three months pregnant and if you don't give me the job...I'll be naming the father.
