The rabbits love the grapes, and attack so fast, that the winery is left with low yields, making the wine very special. The label is Los Conejos Malditos, which translates to “The Cursed Rabbits.”
That's so interesting! We go to Spain often but I've only been to Toledo once (it's kind of far from my inlaws). If we ever get a chance to go back, I definitely want to check out this winery!

Ashore after a very late start, and mistakenly choosing to follow a complicated rabbit rather than the cheesy rabbit. For now, I'll take a DOH with a right hand smack to the face. Ugh, embarrassing. :oops:
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

So... why is the word "avoid" (as opposed to "bunny" or "cocoa" or "habit")? Does "avoid" have anything to do the title or theme? I thought "takeout order" can be a command to assassinate and "avoid" could be an instruction to avoid direct contact. But that's morbid, isn't it?
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE

In one sense, YOU'RE avoids using the A, and NE'ER DO WELL avoids using a V ...
