- lizardbrains - 07-31-2001 I know this must be a totally newbie question, but I can't for the life of my figure out what "SW" stands for. Please put my mind to rest. Thanks! - Innkeeper - 07-31-2001 It is a Winoweenieism for "sissy whites." He alleges that he only drinks reds although occasionally fesses up to a gewurtz or a riesling. Others will use to term either in support of the concept or derision of it.

All hail Innkeeper! - Botafogo - 07-31-2001 Gee, I thought that the facts that Chardonnay isn't finished until it has bubbles in it and that the best white wines are Belgian Bieres were self evident........ Roberto - lizardbrains - 07-31-2001 Got it. You all are too funny! I'm trying to learn to appreciate the whites, but reds are just easier to like! - davedw - 07-31-2001 we call it WW (wimpy whites) - cpurvis - 07-31-2001 Since WW is a Member of the Board, can't use that designation here...we have better one's for him [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] cp - winoweenie - 07-31-2001 Seems the Nom-de-plume for them SW's are in dispute. I jes' calls 'em likes' I sees 'em. All whites would be red if they Could. WW - Thomas - 08-01-2001 yeah, and all red would be Pinot Noir... lizardbrains, methinks you should trade monikers with ww! |
