Personally, while I enjoyed plenty of bottles of liebfraumich in my late 
teens and 20s, I think this is one of Joni's worst lyrics because she 
perverts the pronunciation of clandestine, the preferred pronunciation of 
which has a silent e on the end and the accent on the middle syllable.
Pronunciation: klan-'des-t&n 
Maybe she should have tried to rhyme something with liebfraumilch instead of 
Rhine wine.
