"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

This takes a bit of time to make but is really good. Even grampa likes it. I have no clue what trahina is. I am told it is a tiny Greek sun-dried pasta.
