Our personal favorite though was a red Zinfadel called Cardinal Zin which was banned in Ohio due to the illustration on the wine label."
Of course there really was a Cardinal Sin, now passed. I always thought of him in the same league as Doctor Kadivar and Doctor Boner (Florida), and the politician Oliver Loser (Germany I think).
