I saw this article - about mead made from Coca-Cola - and immediately thought about our friend Wronwright, from those golden days at Tim Blair's old blog: "Brewers are turning Coca-Cola into a very boozy wine".
For anyone who might not know, the fellow who called himself "Wronwright" was one of the most popular commenters at Tim's blog, and such a unique character that I dragooned him into service as Detective Paco's sidekick. Sumerian mead was a trope or meme of some kind that got started in the comments section (I don't recollect the "origin" story), and it was frequently associated with Wronwright. I believe he may have commented here once, back in this blog's infancy, or perhaps he sent me an email, I don't recall exactly, but I haven't heard from him since, and I miss him. If you're still out there, Wron, I hope you're doing well, and please drop us a line sometime.
By the way, any idea what Andrea's up to these days?
