That's three wine brings you...
That's a red bone and nitro broose and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
The Petri family. The family that took time to bring you good wine.
Invite you to listen to Dr. Watson tell us another exciting story about his good friend
that master detective Sherlock Holmes.
And I'd like to tell you something that maybe you already know.
The fact that America's favorite wine is port wine.
Did you know that?
Well, if you didn't, you'll know why port is the way out front favorite.
If you'll just sample some Petri California port.
You just look at that Petri port and you know it's good.
That wonderful deep red color and Petri port is so clear.
Well, just hold it to the light and you can sort of see right through the glass.
But what you really want to know about a wine is how does it taste?
Can I tell you something?
I've never yet been able to find the adjective that will do Petri port justice.
It's wonderful, honest.
You just got to taste it for yourself and find out for yourself.
You love that Petri port in the evening at the dinner when you're sitting around
listening to the radio.
And it's perfect to serve your friends when they come over.
Well, you can show that Petri label too.
In fact, you can show it probably because the name Petri is the proudest name
in the history of American wine.
And now I'm sure our old friend Dr. Watson's ready for us.
So let's go in and join.
Come in, come in, come in.
Good evening, Mr. Barrco.
Good evening, Dr..
Now the puppies seem very happy tonight.
Tonight, yes, but you're going to see them as absolute.
I'd like to throw a two more frightening little dogs in the hell of California.
What happened, Dr?
Well, I took them for a walk on the beach.
I think the scrambling round a rocky point,
a seal of puppies head up the wall is quite close to us.
What the puppies did?
Oh, both of them barked at it furiously.
And the seal?
Blue, a few bubbles and bark right back.
I wonder what the world's feed record is for short-flake dogs?
I'm sure they broke it.
You know, Dr. I'll have to join you on one of those afternoon strolls of yours.
You always seem to be having such exciting adventures.
Oh, and talking of that.
How's about tonight's new Sherlock Holmes attack?
I'm already for you, my boy.
In fact, I was looking over my notes on the case just before you arrived.
This is another story in which Sherlock Holmes is elder brother,
Micros.
It's a very important part.
Micros Holmes was seven years older than Sherlock,
and some said it is too pure and far as observation and deduction.
That sounds like heresy, Dr.?
No, no, no, young brother.
Holmes himself was the first to admit it.
In fact, if it hadn't been present,
curable laziness,
Micros could have been a formidable rival to his younger brother.
However,
Micros was in a position of considerable importance at the fine office,
and it was there at the night story begins.
In the winter of 18199,
and Micros Holmes offered Gomez lunch
with a climbing full length on 11 feet.
His eyes were cold, his hands were folded across the stump,
and his breath came rhythmically.
The cynic would have declared that Micros Holmes
was taking off the lunch and snooze,
that Mr. Holmes' secretary had jumped from by the name of God.
No, it was a realist.
He tapped on the door to straighten it.
Then he left on it.
And still there was no response,
so he opened the door and entered.
After a moment, he gave what he thought was a discrete car.
Micros Holmes opened his eyes,
and folded his hands.
Oh, no, God,
must you come in here and darken me so soon after lunch.
And shy, Mr. Holmes,
but I thought you thought that I was lying down with my eyes closed,
that I must be bored,
and so you came galloping in.
Well, what do you want?
There's no radio outside, sir.
She insists on something you personally.
I try to get rid of her, but what's her name?
Mrs. Hudson, sir.
Mrs. Hudson?
Show her in, Godness.
Show her in.
Very good, sir.
Undoubtedly, a message from young Sherlock.
How are you, Mrs. Hudson?
Well, good day, Mr. Holmes.
I'm sorry to interrupt you,
but I want to cut much of your time.
Sit down, won't you?
Don't leave us, Godness.
I made need you in a few minutes.
Very good, sir.
Now, Mrs. Hudson, what's the message?
Message, sir?
My brother sends you with some messages
that he was afraid to entrust the ordinary channels.
He's always so confounded and dramatic.
Hope you're sure of heart.
No, sir.
I've come to you with a little problem of my own.
I didn't like your brother, Mr. Sherlock Holmes with it.
He's been so busy lately, and he's looking very tired.
So you came to me?
I'm just mindful.
I thought you wouldn't mind, sir.
You've always been so nice and friendly to me.
Your laziness.
It is less effort to keep an old friend
than to make a new enemy.
But tell me your problem.
Well, it's really my sister's problem, sir.
She keeps a boarding house at 14 Kensington Garden Square
in this border.
And she's convinced one of her borders,
a man who has a room on the first floor deck.
She's convinced that he's a birdman.
And what's in heaven's name is a birdman?
Do you know, Gardner?
No, sir.
I can't imagine.
Oh, it's like a horrible gentleman,
except that the man turns into a bird.
Oh, come now, Mrs. Hustle.
Oh, I know it sounds deaf,
but my sister's in a dreadful state.
Of course, I've been with your brother long enough
to know that such things are nonsense.
But how can I think that to others?
What reason did your sister give for holding her strange belief?
She keeps finding pigeon feathers in the room.
No, the man doesn't keep pigeons, sir.
My sister knows that for a fight.
Has she found any traces of scattered food on the window, lad?
None, sir.
No signs of any pigeons except the feathers.
My sister's a wee bit famous, their homes.
She's the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter,
and you know what that means.
It's the same.
She's not a madman, thanks, sir.
She's shown me the feathers herself.
Where were they, Mrs. Hustle?
Somewhere in the floor, by the end of the bed, thanks, sir.
I brought some along with me.
Yes, sir.
And we found some wood in the gentleman's cupboard,
but it keeps his clothes.
Hi, George.
I wonder what is it, sir?
I'll tell you in a moment, Gardner.
Mrs. Hustle, this matter will require
a little private investigation.
May I return your sister and tell her not to worry.
I shall get in touch with you as soon as my enquire
is completed.
Good day to you.
Good day, sir, and I'm very much obliged to meet you.
Well, Gardner, what do you make of it?
An old lifestyle, sir.
You're not treating it serious, are you?
Yes, I am.
One of these feathers shows evidence
of having had string tightened around it.
That suggests a captive bird.
Now, a captive bird smuggled into an obscure boarding house
who points to something of the greatest importance to us, Gardner.
By George, do you mean any opinions?
Exactly.
And remember that we are at war, under the boars
that attain several importance
and highly confidential seats as lately.
We know there's a leak somewhere.
This requires an active investigator
who could work with discretion.
Now, I could work with discretion,
but I don't feel so active at the moment.
Ah, I have it.
I would just write this letter to my brother.
Disguise your hand, use plain, cheap note paper,
and don't sign the letter.
He won't be able to resist that combination.
Are you ready, Gardner?
Yes, very well then.
My dear Mr. Sherlock Holmes,
we know of your proposed investigation
of the tenant and the first floor back
at 14 Kensington Garden Square.
We warn you, as you value your life,
keep away from me.
We warn you, as you value your life,
to keep away from the case.
And that, my dear Watson, is why we are
driving towards 14 Kensington Garden Square,
disguised as building inspectors
of the London County Council.
Well, I must say, it's a very challenging letter, Holmes.
Unsigned, I know this.
We're written on cheap note paper,
and in a disguised hand, there's no clue where I'm afraid.
Oh, we're entering the square, Holmes.
Yeah, there's Dr. Kapp here.
You can drop us here, Kappie.
I'll walk you out, Kappie.
It seemed a bit clung to us in these costumes
we're supposed to arrive in a cab.
Yeah, I'm supposed to.
Here you are, Kappie.
Yeah, thank you, Governor.
We're supposed to be Mr. Stereo's tenant
to the first floor back to be in his room when we get there.
I mean, Mr. Hook, about his guys,
is it convincing?
I'm going to keep our wits about this.
Now, this may be a trap.
Yes, just what I was going to say,
I thought you'd never heard of 14 Kensington Gardens
when you received an unsigned letter two hours ago
wanting you to keep away from it.
I don't like the look of it.
There we are, number 14.
I suggest that you let me do most of the talking.
Good Lord, he has my company, accent.
I'm going to compare with you.
Who do you want to say?
We're from the London County Council.
We are.
We've had complaints about a leaky guest yet
in the first floor back.
Oh, that's Mr. Greensroom.
Me, I don't know.
Well, don't matter.
My dear, we'll go out and take a look.
Come on, birdie.
Right.
You are, Alfred.
Let me just show you the way.
The Mrs. Ratchoff.
No, thanks, dear.
We have birdie-conkey.
Off-stead with birdie.
Oh, of course we tell them.
Look at him laughing.
Come on, birdie.
I don't know what the birdie-conkey is.
Vibeside the sea side there.
I do not know.
Vibeside the sea.
Yeah.
Doo-lyumper-pum-pum-pum...
Oh, Vibeside the sea side there.
Vibeside the sea side there...
Oh, I dunno, Wolfy-donald.
Oh, Mama Wet.
Very happy, rac�던, Covered Acrlonol.
Let me see.
Because I thought,
you're going to say it's a bit too...
Well, now I hold on, let's go in.
Well, this is the mysterious one, eh?
Well, it looks perfect in the ordinary, doesn't it?
Yes. First, an example of the spoiler reporting house vibe.
Hello. What's this on the bedspread?
Hello. Let's get out of the tunnel.
No.
These are pigeons that there's old chap.
A little club Watson.
Attached to the bed rail.
No, that's only a piece of string.
Yes, but the small metal ring on the end.
The rings, such as his used,
a place around a homing pigeon's leg.
But why should someone keep carrying pigeons
and obscure boring houses like this?
Why, deep, why, deep?
The answer could be that the tenant of this room
is engaged in some sinister activity that requires
the use of carrying pigeons and sending messengers
to the bird's being kept here.
That's to work a lot, that's true.
Now, possibly the owner of this room is given a pigeon
by one of the superiors, but he did hear a fixes his message
and releases the bird.
Why could he just take the message to where they keep the birds?
Well, that way he would run the risk of being picked up
with injured listening criminally,
criminating messages on it.
What kind of sculls I've re-enrolled the use of carrying pigeons
and just birds?
Well, at war with the boys in South Africa, Watson.
What could be more logical than that a spy in that page
would be using this method to smuggle
important information out of the country, right?
Sure would be a sense.
I wouldn't mind...
Shh!
Speak up!
Speak up!
Who are you?
What the devil do you think you're doing in my room?
Oh, my God!
Him and I, come here to look at your guest parts.
No, don't lie to me.
Who are you?
I just saw a cabinet, my name's Bert Limonard,
come from the London Calcats.
Very well then.
You won't tell me the truth for emphasis revolver
on making changes in my life.
No, I'm a key cabinet, I'm a key cabinet, but I know.
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
Home is where were you?
I slipped behind the doors.
There's a gentleman open this.
Yeah, me, sir.
Your overcrowded coat seems extraordinarily well-filled
with chest.
Mid-man, I'll slip it off.
It's a bit warm in here.
Let me roll.
So, you were right, homes?
You had a pigeon on this coat.
Yeah, yeah.
You didn't catch the bird, would you?
All right, here.
Come on, pigeon.
Come on, little fella.
Come along, pigeon.
Yeah, he comes.
That's it.
Look at the little fella.
Snuggled up on my arm.
In the little fella's knee.
Yes, I took out Watson, the gentleman's revolver.
Yeah.
One night to get it off.
Oh!
A beautiful apricot home.
I'm a...
And I'd hate he'll be unable to talk for some time.
How fortunate he told us where the mist was hidden
before we indulged in this, if I said too.
What do you mean?
Is there anything about a message?
No, not verbally.
And I was watching his reflection in the mirror as he entered the room.
And his eyes first blanced at this top door on the dresser here
to see if we touched it.
And it was obviously the most important spot in the room.
Let's see.
Ah!
Here we are.
A message already rolled up and in its container.
Oh!
What is it, sir?
Come.
It's in code.
Which is not surprising.
But I don't think it will be very difficult to decipher.
Yes.
Is when you've done that.
My dear fellow, I shall compose a code message of my own
and persuade this pigeon to lead us to its master.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
So, why have brought to the dexter's music poll in the fero庫?
Well, I must confess I have no friends here.
First of all, we go to Baker Street and who's been a folly over some awesome book,
and you write about the message to the pigeon- letter to loose.
Now you bring me here.
I hate to question you when you're working but I think that he'll give me some idea on what's going on.
Of covid, oh, Jeff.
At times, I'm at the same confundering mysterious.
I'm sure.
Here with the situation, your book I began over at the table of thinkers I was trying to
probe about the message we found in the room on the first blockhead?
Are you obviously were you sceneulared or we wouldn't be here?
There's the key word was Louis Boeter, the name of the Boer leader.
A message was at a port on the number of troops now entraining at Aldershot.
They were right. They mixed up the ring of NMA agent.
Obviously, I'll chat.
So I kept the original message and composed another using the same code and dispatched it by Kaliya Pigeon.
Well, what did you say in your message?
Meet me at tonight, eight o'clock, table number three at Dexter's musical.
What made you choose this place as a rendezvous?
Well, I happen to know that it's a common meeting place for other world characters.
And which is table number three?
They're one over there in the corner. I reserved it.
Then why don't we go and sit down there and set a standing at here back?
And I thought you'd give our visitor the opportunity of showing his hand first.
You won't be expecting Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson I can't you?
So why don't we go and sit down there and set a standing at here back?
And I thought you'd give our visitor the opportunity of showing his hand first.
You won't be expecting Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson I can't you?
Good Lord, look at this woman coming on the thing.
You ever see so many photos?
No time left to ever fall and wait for your friends to join.
Now we get to die together and forget about the blue sky.
Oh, oh, look up.
Man, you're sitting down at table number three.
What's wrong with you? Knock.
It's a symbol.
It's a symbol of who's here.
Dangerous criminal who went to life for the boy after gang.
He's caught a prize-fitching, wasn't?
Did I have your order of a handy-o-chap?
Untouchable, you're recognized, right?
Come on, then.
I'm going to go and get around by the Maggie's in two days.
I'm so glad you're able to get a boyfriend, sir.
Sherlock Holmes, it's a trap.
I'm trying to quick start going to revolve ahead, then.
How do you like this type of in your face?
Oh, watch him!
He didn't shoot him, did you?
No, no. He knocked my hand and revolved the way down.
The chopper's wild, I said it.
I asked off to the wound.
I don't know how to burn.
It's not the sword from some distance.
Holmes... Holmes is... he's dead.
Out of the way.
Out of the way, please. Now, they're what's going on here.
Uh, comfortable. This man is in shoot.
Yes, but it's easy to see you, did it.
Well, I didn't think I was full of that sort of thing.
Oh, and why are you standing here with a smoking revolver in your hand?
Come on, you, you're under arrest.
You thought arrest me and got to work.
And this is the Sherlock Holmes.
I don't care if you're the king of triumph
and the bishop of London himself.
You're under arrest.
And I'm taking you both to Scotland, y'all!
You tell the rest of Dr. Watson's story in just a second.
And if you don't mind, I'll take that second
to say just one word to the ladies.
And that word is Muscatel...
Petri, California Muscatel.
I want you women to know about it
because Petri Muscatel is one wine
that practically every woman likes.
Maybe because it's such a beautiful color.
Like, well, like pale gold.
But I guess really, because Petri Muscatel
brings you the wonderful flavor of luscious,
sun-ripened muscat grapes.
And that's a flavor.
Fry Petri Muscatel after dinner
or any time as a change from Petri Port.
Have a bottle of each on hand.
When you buy Petri wine, don't buy one by two.
Remember, if it's a Petri wine,
you know it's a good wine.
Access to affordable credit helps me tell you my employees
that I don't really need it.
Infliction is killing me!
Who cares?
Big retailers are making record profits!
That's why we support the German Marshall Credit Card Bill!
See?
Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.
And this bill would cut the vital resources they need.
While increasing mega sure profits!
They deserve it.
Don't they?
Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall money grab for corporate megastores.
Paid for it by the electronic payments coalition.

Dr. Watson, that was really one for the books.
So, you got yourself arrested on a murder chart.
Yes, Mr. Voucher.
The humiliating experience.
I was taken off the Scotland yard in the Black Mara.
It's like any common criminal.
Like a constable wouldn't listen to words that I've got to say.
Well, Sherlock Holmes on with you, of course.
Oh, absolutely.
We arrived at Scotland yard.
My multiplication was complete.
And I found that I was led into the presence of our own friend in spectacular start.
Holmes spoke to him at some length.
But I can see from the start the expression.
My position was very slow.
Now, I can see what it is, Mr. Holmes.
You see, I know you're both.
But I must say that a lot of them here at the yard is just like what they call your eye and its method.
But the start of personal likes or dislikes have nothing to do with it.
Of course, I haven't seen a man of evidence.
Well, I know that, Dr. Watson.
Well, evidence was as clear as the nose on your face.
The dead man was shot through the head.
And you were standing in front of the body with a drawn revolver in your hand.
But my deal is gone.
My deal is gone.
But no powder burns on the wound.
Yeah, that's what you tell me, Mr. Holmes.
But I'll have to wait for the official report on that.
The police surgeons examining the body now.
Do you understand, gentlemen?
I'm not saying I'm sorry, but, uh, Sid Trinball is dead.
He's been a thorn in our side for a good many years.
And Fleta is the surgeon now.
Dr. Hendricks, this is Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
How do you do?
How do you do, gentlemen?
Hi.
I'm a great admirer of you both.
And I'm sorry to see you in such a very unfortunate flight.
Thank you very good, Dr. Hendricks.
Yeah.
What were your findings, Dr. Hendricks?
Well, I just extracted the bullet, the strad and I'm very much afraid.
It's the same-making caliber as the one missing from Dr. Watson's revolver.
Yes, but that doesn't prove that I fired the paper shot.
A 45-coloured, very common weapon, Dr.
It proves nothing.
And Dr. Hendricks, as I was just saying to Mr. Starr,
before you came in the only fact,
to show my friend Gutein,
would be powder burns on the wound,
thereby giving proofing the bullet had been found from close range.
I entirely agree with you, Mr. Holmes.
Then, as there were no powder burns.
Oh.
But there are powder burns, Mr. Holmes.
One. Very distinct ones, too.
Lord, I-
Well, I just-
I don't understand.
Oh, I'm sorry, gentlemen.
The bear of bad tidings that I have my duties to perform.
Yes, and-
I'm sorry, too, Dr. Watson.
Huh?
I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to let you leave here.
Good. Good.
You must consider yourself under arrest.
Holmes, I never felt more despondent in my life.
Oh, cheer up, oh, Jack.
Look, I-
Locked up in a prisoner's cell.
Looked up if I might end up with the yellows.
Don't worry, Watson.
You'll be honored here, before the night is over.
I promise you, lad.
It was the fullest pleasure of the judo.
How'd you propose to do it all with the aid of a little heart, thinking?
Linking.
Well done, a lock in a cell, doors, thinking.
Well done, well done, fellow.
It's not just someone's deliberately trying to incriminate us.
It's trying to be destructing logically.
Hmm?
It's a little was a member of an espionage ring.
I sent him a false message.
After he'd left, keep the point in place.
His colleagues trailed him to the musical and killed him, before he could be.
The tray energy to pass.
Yes.
Yes, that's undoubtedly the way it happened.
The powder burns, Holmes. How do you come for them?
The manun just after the shop was fired.
We know that.
And yet Dr. Hendricks assures us that there are very distinct powder burns now.
May we come in, gentlemen?
Yes, of course you can, Dr. Hendricks.
Oh, hello, sir.
Yes, I thought we'd come and check with you, Doctor.
It's very nice of you, gentlemen.
Yeah, not a bit of it, Doctor.
Very, it hurts me to see you in here, and that's a fact.
And I can't bear to see a fellow medical in such flight.
I was coming in to see what I can do to help once, hm?
Yeah.
You're very quiet, Mr. Holmes.
Am I the start of thinking? You see, what's the check?
Have it. Have what?
The answer.
You'll sleep in Vegas tonight, I'll draw.
Mr. Holmes, what are you talking about?
You're a sick symbol.
Incriminating powder burns were obviously faked.
Watson and I know that.
Well, you and Dr. Hendricks believe it or not.
The question is, how were they faked?
I think they had the answer.
And Dr. Hendricks?
Yes, Mr. Holmes.
If a bank conscious were fired at the wound after death,
it would produce powder burns, wouldn't it?
Undoubtedly.
Yet, who could have done that, Mr. Holmes?
Ah, that's the point to start.
Who had the opportunity?
It comes to who brought the body here.
So, oh, gentlemen?
Also, you, Dr. Hendricks.
That's perfectly true.
Well, I had the opportunity to, Mr. Holmes.
I spend off and out in the morgue,
and known with the body when it first came in.
Well, you've narrowed it down to three suspects, Holmes.
I hope I don't hang before you find the real killer.
I've found the Watson.
Why?
What?
The answer is simple to start.
The powder burns was certainly faked by a bank cartridge.
Now, if a bank cartridge were fired at the wound,
the wound would have penetrated and distorted the wound.
Yes, but suppose the person had removed the wound
from the black mist drones.
Its effect would still be quite a pattern
to the police surgeon who would have removed the bullet.
Am I correct, Dr. Hendricks?
Entirely.
The surgeon could not fail to identify the marksman, Mr. Holmes.
Exactly.
Now, that only one person could have fired that blank cartridge
without detection, the same person who made the incision
necessary to remove the cartridge
would also remove all traces of the shot.
You yourself, Dr. Hendricks.
I do, Holmes.
I believe you're right.
That's an ingenious theory, Holmes.
Surely you're joking.
Am I?
And how do you account for the fingers
feathers on the color of your coat?
I'm...
The devil with you.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Come back here.
Stop it.
Hey, I got him.
No, Dr. Hendricks.
Wait.
I'm off it.
Scott.
Scott didn't yard itself harboring an enemy agent.
On my soul, Holmes.
You've done it again.
I must say you've got sharp eyes.
I didn't see those vision feathers on Hendricks' color.
Yeah, a confidentially my dear, but I neither did I.
But Hendricks' guilty conscience knew they might be there.
It was a shot in the dark and I had to take it.
If you would spend the night in a prison cell,
I should never have held the end of it.
I'm sure.
Never.
I want to see Mr. Michael Holmes, please.
The following, Mrs. Hudson, he's expecting you.
Thank you.
Oh, there you are, Mrs. Hudson.
Come and sit down.
Well, thank you, sir.
I got your message from him over right away.
In the first station, Hudson, you may tell your sister
that she didn't worry anymore.
I'm sure she'll find no more pigeon feathers in her room
on the first floor there.
No, sir.
Thank you.
But she knows the fact.
Because the birdman left her used to be good.
Some strange name came into the movie.
And today, she's led the room to a nice young commercial traveler.
I'm really sorry to have bothered you with our troubles, sir.
I'm very glad you did, Mrs. Hudson.
Thanks to your information, an enemy has been asked
ring has been broken.
And the British government is deeply grateful to you.
You're always one for a joke, aren't you, Mr. Holmes?
Well, I'm glad you're not tangling with me.
I'll be going now, sir.
Just one more fever, I'll ask before I go through.
Anything, Mrs. Hudson.
What is it?
Please don't tell your brother about this, sir.
He'd be sure I'll be with you for wasting your time.
Well, doctor, that was really a swell story tonight.
Although it was a bit unexpected for you to have been arrested.
Yes, indeed.
Mr. Butler, when you were just ticked to be like Holmes or a doctor like myself,
were you going to be prepared to meet the unexpected every once in a while?
I suppose so.
Of course.
Of course, you wouldn't know about things like that being a wine expert yourself.
Oh, now, wait a minute, doctor.
And the way you talk, you think I spent every waking moment in a nice cool wine cellar
tasting wine for morning till night.
Well, don't you?
I'm not, doctor.
I'm no more a wine expert than you are.
Oh, I know about wine, is it?
You need to take good or not?
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.
The wine is that it either takes good or it doesn't.
And I know that Petri wine does taste good.
And that's because the Petri family took time to make good wine, generations of time.
But the Petri families have been making wine ever since they started the Petri business way back in the 1800s.
And since business has always been family-owned and operated, they've been able to hand on down from father to son,
from father to son, all they've ever learned about the fine art of turning luscious son life
and grapes and to fragrant delicious wine and they've learned plenty so no matter
what wine you want or any occasion you can't go wrong with a petri wine
because petri took time to bring you good wine. Well Dr. Watson what story do you
