  To start the ball rolling, here are some that fall pretty much on the 'worst' side... Some wine: --Goats Do Roam (South Africa) --Shingleback Shiraz (Oz) --Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush (NZ) --Mother Cluckers Chardonnay (NZ) --Marilyn Merlot (Napa) --Ptomaine des Blagueurs (Santa...

Some wine: --Goats Do Roam (South Africa) --Shingleback Shiraz (Oz) --Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush (NZ) --Mother Cluckers Chardonnay (NZ) --Marilyn Merlot (Napa) --Ptomaine des Blagueurs (Santa Cruz/Southern France?) --Horse's Ass Cab (Sonoma) --Cleavage Creek Secret Reserve (Napa) --Tex Zin --Wild Boar Doe (Long Island) --Booger Swamp (Brushy Mountain Winery, North Carolina) --Red Chardonnay (the bottle's red, too; also from N.C.--what's going on over there?) --Mommy's Time Out (Italy?) --The Dog's Bollocks (house wine by a market in Calais obviously meant for those taking the ferry over from Britain--also the name of some decent Brit beer) Some beer and rum: --British Navy Pusser's Rum (UK) --Entire Butt Porter (UK) --Butcombe Bitter (UK) --Just about all the beers put out by Butts Brewery ('Le Butts Biere', anyone?--UK) --Aass Bock (Norway) --Bürgerbräu Bad Reichenhall Suffikator (a premium doppelbock from Germany) --Wasatch Polygamy Porter (Utah) I thought anyone from Oz, Kiwiland or even certain parts of the US might have an advantage in dredging names easily, but now am thinking Brits may have a legup. Non-English-language namings as perceived by English speakers may also have an advantage. Purposely dodged all the 'Hell' beers out of Germany since that just means 'light' in German. Some of the above have pretty nasty labels, too (e.g. Cleavage Creek). Have some jpg images I may go to the trouble of posting later. I like the British labels that can't name the varietal because they don't fall within the list of grapes approved by the EU. Also those Welsh wines that have some small English label on the back because the main label on the front, in Welsh, isn't acceptable to the EU. Finally, why is it that I find myself more willing to buy the funkily named beers than the gimmicky wines?    (hide)

  Snoothrank:

  I found this wine when the food I ordered to take out was 20 minutes late. ... a complimentary glass of Wild Horse. Despite being served bar side in a glass an inch thick and sitting next to a business traveler who had sweated out the pits of his blue shirt, I sat there 10 minutes...

Despite being served bar side in a glass an inch thick and sitting next to a business traveler who had sweated out the pits of his blue shirt, I sat there 10 minutes longer than I needed to so I could enjoy a second glass. The wine had a ripe and lush cherry aroma. Either that or the person who drank from the glass before me used cherry chapstick. Bad thought, but the wine was nice    (hide)

  Wild Horse Merlot Paso Robles 2006

  Snoothrank:

  This wine had to be decanted for it to breathe, about 1 hour later it was a very nice fruity wine. A lot of cherry on the nose and palate.. July 2009
