WORDS NOT TO USE

Here is a list of words I don't want to hear, read, or TASTE when drinking wine:

Cat Pee (common in Sav Blanc)
Barnyard (moo or poo)
Deer, Musk
Mint
Banana (Petit Verdot)
Smoke, Burnt, Cigar Box, Tobacco
Sweat (eww, high school locker room flashback)
Dirty Laundry (ie body odor), Leather, Dusty, Chalky (All things that shouldn't be in your mouth - ever)
Vegetal, Asparagus, Green Bell Pepper (this isn't a salad)

and although it's typical in oaked chards: Butter

The funny thing is words like Mold, Vinegar, Garlic, Onions, Nail Polish, and Burnt Matches are off aromas and bad. If you look at the list above, couldn't mold = musk; dusty, burnt matches = smoke, burnt, cigar box, tobacco; onions, vinegar = dirty laundry, peppers?

Hmm...wine for thought
