Snooth Talk: Weird Wine Names

Wine Talk

: Weird Wine Names; Posted by mark, Mar 7, 2008.; In my travels I've come across some wild wine names. I'm glad to be in an industry with a good sense of humor. Some of the ones I'm remembering at the moment:

Vinum Cellars CNW (The Chard-No-Way is a Chenin Blanc.)
Cooper's Creek Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush (A play on the classic flavors)
Fairview Goats do Roam (A play on Côtes du Rhône -- I see this one in stores a lot)

Anyone else have any they'd like to share?

Fat Bastard, Franks Big Red One and Bitch for swear words

Twisted Oak Winery *%#&@! White Blend

The attack of symbols is pretty funny and plays havoc with search engines

Goats do Roam is probably my favorite - made with Rhone varietals, but from California, i always thought that was pretty funny.

It had a rather devilish looking label and the also had a NV port called 'Boutielle Call' (or booty call) of course, 7 Deadly Zins by a producer in Dry Creek, Sonoma:

Then there is a small producer in Sonoma Valley called Kaz that labels everything kinda strange:

Kazarouge- NV Red Table Wine
Plunge - 2005 Sangiovese
Hooligans - 2005 Grenache
Sangiofranc - 2004 Sangiovese & Cab Franc

Sarah Nader - 2004 Zinfandel
Fly Guys - 2005 Barbera & Tannat

The name and logo remind me of hello kitty, which isnt ideal for an alcoholic beverage

This one's a play on Liebfraumilch, an off-dry wine from Germany. Ha.
