Again no vintage printed on the label. I suppose when you're naming your wine after an infamous 47 pound cock you really don't have to provide much more information. The Gallus gallus was apparently a circus attraction near the turn of the century. This fowl behemoth apparently drew them in from far and wide. I imagine a 47 pound cock would really scare the kids, perhaps even mom... money well spent. One wonders if they ever let the thing get drunk and run through town late at night.
His sobriquet was His Royal Majesty.... the label on the neck of the bottle reads "Lush and Velvety"
Indeed. The bottle is no thicker than any others were on the shelf, perhaps this Giant 47 is made up of only legend and whispers.....
Enough about cocks, royal or otherwise.
We all have work to do around here.
