Here, by Aconite's demand: The Wine Whine!

Port.

Since it's a poetry rejection, probably something *bites his tongue* like a fruity wine, one of those Arbor Mist Exotic Fruit White Zinfindel.

If I had submitted to Poetry Magazine it means I was probably off my dial to start with. I think a rejection would call for champagne (the mag should be congratulated for recognizing bad poetry).



Os.

Port.

And I still say that no matter if the editor shows up on your doorste, shreads your manuscript and throws poop at you, you MUST NOT:

mix rose' with pink lemonade and drink it.

I only drink middle of the road Chardonnay, so that goes with my rejection.

Something bitter and dry.

I was wondering where this would show up...(I'm new here and was missing the little party over here until just now!)
badducky - I posted to you on the other thread:
I suggested there that we couldn't use rieslings for any rejections - too light and crisp for rejection - so that's out.
I'm thinking one of those big burly chardonnays that taste like an old oak barrel - one that you have to chew on to actually swallow...

I was just saying that a ries. is too light and crisp for a rejection... that's funny!

If you go just by the sound of the type of wine rather than the taste, then I think "gwertstraminer" has to be the best name of a wine for the Whine Wine List!

See, chardonnays are so overexposed. Maybe a lovely and crisp riesling?

Gewurtztraminer - I appreciate the help with spelling!!!
and if you drink enough of it...it doesn't matter how you spell it, because you can't say it either!
=)

I try not to say that out loud. People think you're swearing in German. Yes, that "GV" combo in the beginning of a word (or anywhere in the word for that matter) isn't so great...you say it and feel like you have something stuck in your throat...need a good glass of the stuff just to wash the taste of the name out of your mouth! =)

Sangiovese goes well with the empty "all-this-and-for-what?" feeling of another month passing without a review in School Library Journal or ALA Booklist. Oh, and a sandwich made with prosciutto and Provolone.

i like the way you think joe!

German wines are too sweet for my taste.

And aren't Reislings a tad sweet, too?

It's been years since I had a Johanissburg Reisling.

For erotica rejections - a bottle of 'Blue Nun.'

You can't go for the white wines, or even the lighter reds with rejections. You have to go for the deep, dark, bloody, "you ripped my guts out now I'll rip out yours", kind of wines. I prefer a good cabernet, but if you want something a little sweeter, try a syrah. Actually a syrah would pair well with those romance rejections.

LMAO! =)

I'll have Klingon Blood Wine.

I was thinking about it, and are you sure it has to be wine? For some rejections wine just doesn't do the trick. You need something with a little more punch to it. This ale with its dark oaky flavor would do well. Besides, where else would you get a drink that states right on the label, "You're not worthy"
