Surely not. Years ago we found a wine with our family name on it. My
uncle searched the area (Dordogne/Aquitaine) and found that the chap
was a cousin of his dad (my grand dad) and had a Medoc appellation. We
all got really excited and bought lots of bottles - we're a very very
big family, so we made that long lost cousin a small fortune. I don't
really know what happened, but the wine was terrible - as thick as
cough mixture and so heavy and bitter, it would induce a red nose just
by sniffing it. I still have a bottle, which I show to friends proudly,
and just say it's got to mature another year, at least ... ;o)
