The ballad of Garibaldi – Santa Monica – Whoah! That one is a pearl
Vangog's Ear – Santa Monica --Anything having to do with missing body parts should have the crowds knocking the door down (maybe?) Not in this case
Eclipse – What a bout choosing a negative name. This one as its name implied did not last more than an eclipse
The Stinking Rose – La Cienega L.A. – Do you really want to advertise that your restaurant and your cuisine stink
What about "the Golden Shower" – Restaurant (located in Tanzania)
Dirty Dick's – USA
Chewy Balls – Texas
Crabby Dick's – Delaware
Big Wong – NYC
Hitler's Cross – India
Squid Lips' – Florida

"Cru Beaujolais 2009 Fantastic!"

Contact your Southern Wine & Spirit Sales Rep or Jason Hayes @ 310-463-1150 to order now, while the prices are still low. This is a great investment.
