- stevebody - 03-06-2005 Some of you may be familiar with "sniglets", the game of creating new meanings for existing words. There are really no rules for this; it's limited only by your creativity...and, of course, your willingness to make people groan. I was recently challenged by a guy on my high school's alumni site to come up with wine sniglets. I sat down and was stunned to come up with 76 in about an hour. I won't post all of them but here are a few to get rolling. Please feel free to add your own! Valpolicella: Latin for "Valerie takes a voice vote in the string section". Secondary Fermentation: Having second thoughts about wearing mink. Cabernet: Scotsman turning down a nice glass of Cab. Merlot: My old nag is under the weather. Malbec: My Beck CD has a glitch. Pinot Noir: There is no "R" in Pinot Neutral Oak: Your dog Oakie is back from the vet's. Bordeaux: Showing your cruise photos to a female deer. Burgundy: The official panty of an entire Bavarian village. "Let me do one...Let us all try to do one". -Ernest Hemingway - wondersofwine - 03-08-2005 Volnay--never volunteer!
