I am amazed by the erudition of your flist!

I know nothing of wine or German, though I'm familiar with metaphors in sermons that seem to wander off from where the preacher intended sometwhere between his mouth and their ears.

But I do have the name of the suprisingly naked nun (and wasn't that a fun google search!) from the BBC's Mediaeval Mind programme. I think, based on what I heard from the programme and slight googling, that is was Angela of Foligno. There's something about her here (http://tell.fll.purdue.edu/RLA-Archive/1998/italian-html/Morrison,%20Molly.htm), in the unlikely event she's new to you.
