Wine Blogging Wednesday - Just Seven Words

One show in BBC Six Music (a digital only station that I listen to all the time) has a fun little text message section where you describe what you did last night in 7 words. Amazing how inventive some people are and how much you can imply and impart in just seven words.

Can you see where this is heading?

Before I go further I should just say that I have no idea if this will work. I've not tried it myself. It could all end in tears... but can you sum up that wonderful glass of grape juice you are cradling in your hand using just seven words?

The theme for Wine Blogging Wednesday #42 is Just Seven Words. The wine should be an Italian Red. It matters little really for this exercise what type; but try and find something new, interesting and thought provoking. And get that thesaurus out!

JUST SEVEN WORDS. The finished tasting note must make sense, be grammatically correct(ish), punctuation will help of course. The wine name, type, producer, vintage do not have to be included in the 7. But a reference to aroma, flavour, length, food matching etc etc should be considered. Inventiveness is the key.

I have a feeling this could be trickier than it first appears but it is supposed to be a fun, light-hearted approach to wine.

You should post your tasting notes on Wednesday 13th February either on your own blog or on the Wine Blogging Wednesday site.

PS Don't forget to post your wine picture to the WBW flickr group.

Sounds excellent ... and I even have an interesting Italian red at home just waiting for an occasion!

From: Ryan (January 28, 2008 2:54 PM)

FUN! I like the idea, and I will even try to find a bottle of Italian red here in Spain, just so I can join in. Somewhat like finding a needle in the haystack, but I'll give it a go. Do Gabriella and I each get 7? hmmmmm

Excellent exercise for every emerging elite eonophile!

Does alliteration count for bonus points?

From: Joel (January 28, 2008 2:56 PM)

What an creative idea! I love it! This one will take some thought rather than hunting for the perfect wine

From: Arthur (January 28, 2008 2:57 PM)

Why don’t we all just use numbers?

;)

Iterestin idea.

Love the theme, and am looking forward to crafting the perfect 7 word sentence.

Fun topic!

Inventive and inspiring take on Vino Italiano...
I'm in

From: El Jefe (January 28, 2008 3:03 PM)

Italian? Oh, all right... At least I get unlimited punctuation!

From: Adrew (January 28, 2008 3:04 PM)

Superb idea - practising by seven word comments?

From: Mark V Marino (January 31, 2008 9:33 PM)

I guess some one needs to say it, you are nuts!
On the other hand I have never met a nut that is not brilliant it seems to go with the territory.. Should be interesting!

My 7 words on Poliziano Rosso di Montepulciano, 2005 on www.LouderVoice.com - via Twitter:

Sippin’ Poli’s hedonistic and very cherry docious.

From: Rossella (February 7, 2008 3:12 PM)

I'll do my best while drinking red wine

From: Evan Prodromou (February 9, 2008 4:28 PM)

Seven words? Italian red? I'll do it.

From: Hank (February 11, 2008 3:17 AM)

Do I get extra points if I add a haiku, too?

From: Dan Fullick (February 11, 2008 11:06 PM)

Are you collecting the urls / wines for WBW #42?

Great idea, btw. Acronyms count as one.

Get it?

Seriously.... should participants email you all info for the recap?

Thanks for hosting!

From: Andrew (February 12, 2008 4:20 PM)

Totally forgot about sending in the details - please, yes, send me the url!

From: Hank (February 12, 2008 4:57 PM)

Hey there,

Just posted my seven-worder here. Thanks for hosting WBW this month! Cheers,

Hank

Hi!

Here are my seven words... in French (I hope that's OK!). This is my first participation to WBW. I hesitated to participate to past themes, but the 7-words is such a great idea, I couldn't resist!
