The topic -- wine. Heard last night while driving home on NPR. If you know the answers already because you heard the same program, please let others try before you post.

Try to guess the types of wine by the following clues:

1. Fake window
2. Boyfriend at Swiss ski resort
3. Parents’ important sister
4. Deer in doldrums
5. Where Canadian spelunkers go
6. Tide out at Mont St Michel
7. Flint for daily flintlocks (this one will definitely be tough…at least it was for me)

I guess I should've used a comma or two in that particular sentence.

And, TJ, you forgot muscatel...otherwise, you would've won by a landslide!

I'm rather surprised with the amount of wordsmiths around here, no one has taken a stab at it. To help you along, I'll provide the answer to the first one:

Fake window = sham pane = champagne

See how that works? Cool, eh?

timmyjoe's response: "in the pooper" for number 5 isn't correct then?
