Omadhaun & Poltroon
1996 White Blend
- According to this article
in Forbes, the names Omadhaun and Poltroon come from ...
Irish insults (omadhaun means, basically, idiot; poltroon, coward) that
Krankl fell in love with after reading Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes.
("Go back to your seat, you omadhaun, you poltroon, you thing from the far dark corner of a bog.")
Explains Krankl: "Fools have all the freedom in the world."
