It is. See, the problem with what I'm about to say is it's too much of a cliche and too easy to pick from the name. But the fucking wine, pardon my language, that's in it is the right wine. The prisoner is what I was going to say. They're just drinking the prisoner. They're drinking pancake syrup at this table. And they are, and the problem is it's called the prisoner's two on the nose. But I will also say that wine is the right wine for somebody who is. I don't want to say fraud. I don't want to say a fraud because I'm not going to say that. No,
no, no, not a fraud. But honestly, I feel like the only problem is that's not expensive enough for this crowd.
