Wine LOLz from Twitter #lessambitiouswines
Occasionally, “memes” get started on Twitter: someone starts a hashtag such as #lessambitiousfilms and people chine in with their ideas, such as “The Sounds of Muzak,” “Being John Stamos” or “Saving Private Ryan 15% on his Auto Insurance by Switching him to GEICO.â€
Now the meme has spread to wine with people tweeting about #lessambitiouswines. Suggestions include, “Châteauneuf-du-Pabst,” “Henschke Hill of Poise,” and “Humble Mountain Vineyards.” I suggested playing it both ways with “Bronze Oak #lessambitiouswines Gold Oak #moreambitiouswines.”Howard Goldberg has been on a roll offering “Geworstraminer,” “Pinot grease,” and “Defite-Rothschild.” Hit the comments if you have other ideas.
And if you are poking around on Twitter for some chuckles, there has been a raft of anonymous accounts offering up spoof tasting notes to inside-baseball sommelier talk. As they say at the finest tweeting establishments, #enjoy.
