Scottish from my father's side, German from my mother's side. You'd think I'd have it in me but apparently not. I suspect it might be that my taste buds are just fried from years of drinking mountain dew as a kid. I had a good wine one time, now that I think of it. I did try some fancy cognac one time and I did *not* like it. By far the foulest thing I've ever put in my mouth was a swig of Corona beer. Beers in general are just the worst IMO, but that corona was something else. Don't think I've ever had cider...
