LOL!.....

Reminds me of the time when I was still learning about wine. Went to
a local vineyard that specialized in Syrahs and Pinot noirs, for a
tasting. I asked for a red that was "chewy". They gave me a PN that
was to-die-for. Then another lady --who was probably as dumb as
myself-- asked me, "Is chewy a proper wine term?" I never answered
her, thinking what a dolt she was asking about the rather clever term
I'd jes made up on the spur of the moment. What was even funnier is,
I later learned "chewy" is, indeed, a proper wine description term.
That, or I actually did invent a new term and didn't realize it.
