Not at all! Although my little place doesn’t look like much,
this wine is extremely well known! But there’s no one who’s

past the mountain ridge up ahead. So my little inn is called
“After Three Bowls, You Can’t Cross the Ridge!”

It’s really great wine! But how come I’m not drunk, even with
three bowls in my belly? By all means, bring out all the wine
you have!
