Est!! Est!!! wine from > Montefiascone (Mons Flasconis) and the story behind that name. > > http://utenti.lycos.it/montefiascone/wine01.htm > One of the vineyards has a large label telling the whole story of the wines' name in Latin. I've never made room to bring a whole bottle back, but I did copy the text down, as it would make a great exercise for a Latin class. It contains simple vocabulary as well as purpose, result, and indirect command clauses. It's filed away somewhere, sadly, as I'm currently teaching Greek. I'd be happy to dig it out if anyone were interested. I should also mention that I did not find that particular label to be the best Est! Est!! Est!!! I tried. But I did finish the bottle.
