Friday Wine Goodness returns!

So, I realized that it's been a while since I've done a Friday Wine Goodness post.  I didn't really mean to take such a hiatus, it's not because I ain't drinkin' the stuff, but mostly because I've been sick crazy busy. You know, during that euphemistic time period they call "winter break" and sometimes "vacation" but really means "your kids are out of school for the next two weeks and you still have most of your Christmas shopping to do, church/work activities to prepare for, and at least one blog post to write every day, so good luck with that."

Yeah, that.

Anyhoodles*, Here we are.  I had wanted to find some sort of bottle image to share with you, something funny and catchy that relates to the FWG return from near death, but first I stumbled upon this.

I guaran-damn-tee you no naming consultant was hired or harmed in the development of this wine brand:

 

The calligraphy is teeny, so I'll help you out: It's called Dead Letter Office. And that's how I know it was named internally, probably by the owners themselves. If a naming consultant (such as yours truly) proposed using the D-word to name a wine, she would be mocked, vilified, and sent slinking from the room. Dead, professionally speaking, is what she'd be.

PEOPLE, PAY ATTENTION.  Anyone who can claim to be a Wordsmith, naming and brand expert and start a sentence with "I guaran-damn-tee..", which I am pretty sure is not a legal word in Scrabble, gets my total approval. 

I guaran-damn-tee she's got a couple of copies of Eats, Shoots, and Leaves lying around the house, too. Not that I would know anything about that, myself. Ahem.

*also not a legal word in Scrabble. I wonder if someone could come out with an Urban Dictionary version of Scrabble. That would be kind of awesome.
