Vintage Tuesday - Wine, Food, Travel and Insanity

Cheese Eating Grin - Hey, we are not that crude at Vintage Tuesday.  It sounds better than ….  you know what other kind of grin.

Fred - We have no idea but that is the name we gave the shop keeper in Paris since he did not know English and we did not know French.

Gorg and Crog - Prehistoric wine drinkers and also invented Valentines Day (according to the voices in our head)

Neanderwine^tm - Wine that Gorg and Crog drink.

On Your Face Oak Nose - Term used when Pinocchio, who is made of oak, smells wine.  His oak nose always picks up the oak nose of a wine.

PMS Brownies - Trixie’s world famous brownies with enough chocolate to either cure PMS or choke a moose.

Slaying Corks / Cork Slayer - Angus’ day time job.

State of DeNial - Where Angus and Trixie live when they are not traveling and getting into trouble.

Stealth Bottle Opening - Opening a bottle with a screw cap.  There is no pop and Trixie can not hear it so Angus gets one glass down before Trixie shows up.  When she hears a cork pop she begins salivating like Pavlov’s dog and comes running with her empty glass.

Third Bottle - Similar to Third Glass (see below) but involves more than one person (At least I hope it does - or you’re going to be very sick tomorrow!)

Third Glass - Angus’s famous motto - “Bad wine always turns into good wine by the third glass”

Vintage Neanderthal ^tm - Wine that is very very very very very very….      …very very old.

Vintage Tuesday ^tm - Slang for a cheap bottle of wine that has no year on the label.  Wine is meant to be fun not expensive.

Wholly Shiraz - What Angus says when he gets excited.

Winage - Slang for a bunch of wine.  We had too much winage last night.

Wineglish ^tm - Mixing wine and English.  Many wine labels are made of a noun and adjective i.e. Toasted Head, Red Guitar etc. which makes a great way to learn English.

Wine Snob - “It has a fruit forward taste with tannins that…. “ You know the type.  Just drink and enjoy - that is what wine is all about.

Wine Wizard - Our local store’s wine guru.
