But perhaps they were not Ta grapes, for Cos was far distant, and even if carried by tarns, the grapes would probably not seem so fresh. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter 6, Sentence #21)

I had tasted some only once before, having been introduced to them at a feast given in my honor by Lara, who was Tatrix of the city of Tharna. If they were indeed Ta grapes I supposed they must have come by galley from Cos to Port Kar, and from Port Kar to the Fair of En'Kara. Port Kar and Cos are hereditary enemies, but such traditions would not be likely to preclude some profitable smuggling. But perhaps they were not Ta grapes, for Cos was far distant, and even if carried by tarns, the grapes would probably not seem so fresh. I dismissed the matter from my mind. I wondered why there was only water to drink, and none of the fermented beverages of Gor, such as paga, Ka-la-na wine or Kal-da. I was sure that if these were available Vika would have set them before me. - (Priest-Kings of Gor)
