The New Regular Taster

The regular taster at the winery had left, and the Director started looking for a new one to hire. A raggedy, dirty looking drunkard came to apply for the position.

The director of the factory really wanted to send him away, but decided to test him. They gave him a glass of wine. He tasted it and said, “It’s red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers.”

“That’s correct”, said the Director.

They gave him another glass, “It’s red wine, Cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels.”

“That’s correct”, said the Director.

The Director was astonished. He winked at his secretary and appealed to her to suggest something.

She left the room and returned with a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it.”It’s a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant, in the third month. And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll also tell who the father is!”
