The Italian Cellar has learned that the ransom demand from the most recent Somali piracy incident is, not surprisingly, Italian wine. Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reported that the Somali pirates are "apparently growing weary of drinking Tej or Honey Wine, and are looking for something different to enjoy with their zilzil tibs." "If you've ever had Tej, you'd understand our actions!" claimed pirate Sugule Ali. "It is rash, but we feel our demands for quality Italian wine are justified" Ali stated. Admiral Mullen further added that, "an Italian varietal like a Tocai Friulano or Dolcetto pairs well with the spicy food native to the homeland of the pirates, as well as Indian or Thai food." "Just thinking about it makes me drool like one of your filthy dogs!" Ali quipped.
