[Leica] A Few More Posts

[Douglas Barry]

Astonishing, I've never seen Jesus Christ being used as an endorser of 
anything - let alone wine. A good blasphemous catch, Ken.
On the wine, I've never had wine from Israel, but if any of it is as 
good as some of the Lebanese wines, I'd give it a go. However, a good 
Bordeaux - like Mouton Rothschild might be a tad better than Mutton 
Rothschild...
