The handwriting appears to be identical. 263 00:18:24,537 --> 00:18:26,528 Either that, or it's an expert forgery. 264 00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,665 And the wine? Well, it seemed all right. 265 00:18:28,741 --> 00:18:32,609 But, quite honestly, I wouldn't know the difference between a brut and a sangria. 266 00:18:32,678 --> 00:18:36,637 - It wouldn't hurt to have it tested. - What?
