An abbreviation I see on this board quite a bit is "SW" (as in "I like reds, but not many SW's").
Does this mean "sweet wine"?

"SW" is WW-speak for "Sissy White".

You wouldn't be April foolin' us, now would you HW? I've been trying to figure that one out myself.

No, he's not. Now think hard. Envision WW and all of that desert heat beating down on his noggin -- does ANYTHING seem suspect in what he does? Case closed......

You're right. WW is one bottle short of a full case.

When I read that, I nearly knocked my glass of Viognier onto the keyboard!

Okay...so just what is a "sissy white," anyway? Is it any white wine, or a specific varietal...?

Anything that isn't red.

WW drinks Gewurztraminer, I have on good authority (Drew, you remember that slip he made a while ago)--and, ww drinks other SW dessert wines, but he does this only after having polished off a jar of varnish he keeps hidden inside his baggy pants...
