Another good indicator is a shop where you can bring the mechanics
some beer, and they can drink it.


In that case, Chalo, I've no chance with my LBS. Both Barbara and
Michael prefer red wine, which suits me just fine. But I suppose it's
the thought that counts.

Red wine opens up all sorts of opportunities for aptness. Chianti for
the Giro, Rioja for the Vuelta, and a good Bordeaux for the Tour.

"Serving-boy to old Falernus,
Pour me out more bitter cups
As the law of your teacher Postumia commands--
Drunker than a drunken grape.
And you, waters, who are pleased
To ruin wine, begone from here
And go to Hell--This is pure
Thyonian Wine."
