Tony,

He's in Detroit. I'm sure he can get a dry red wine.
How "good" it will be is an open question. :)

Carl, 

Enjoy your beer. Don't feel too bad about the Nissan
Z's tires. I'm sure the market research indicated that
they didn't need them. Just like the market research
that lead Hankook to sponsor Street Touring 
competition but only offer there performace tires in
16 and 17 inch sizes. :)
