Ancient Booze! (Not the kind in your grandma's liquor cabinet...)

This is not really an original post- but I have some interesting news tidbits and miscellany I wanted to share. I've been listening to the awesome podcast "Stuff you Missed in History Class"  and quite some time ago, they had a very awesome episode about ancient spirits, wines, and beers (give it a listen- it's fascinating!) Well, this week, an important archeological wine discovery was made- lookee! If they are ever able to recreate the recipe, I'd love to give it a taste! I'm sure that ancient wine tasted nothing like our modern wines, but I'd be so intrigued to find out! 
My beer loving friends can, however, indulge in such a trip through time! Luckily, Dogfish Head has worked in conjunction with a team of archaeologists to recreate ancient recipes. Now we just need some wineries to get on top of it!
