The Byass-Gonzalez winery in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, makers of Tio Pepe, has a very unusual guestbook: distinguished, or at least famous, visitors are asked to autograph wine barrels! When we visited we saw quite a few...Picasso, Churchill, and more, but this is the one that struck me the most...the work of the French poet, novelist, artist and igniter of controversies.
His characteristic drawing is accompanied by the inscription "Here I have drunk the blood of kings!"
