New Cult Wine

Everyone is always talking about the Clos Roche Blanche Gamay, but wait until they try Thierry Puzelat's Le P'tit Tannique Coule Bien. Translated this means The Little Tannic Sinks Well.

Concentrated and refreshing, this wine is officially classified a Table Wine by France's prestigious INAO and ought to be on every winelover's must-buy list.

Uh, I think the "hipster" joke here in the "Le P'tit Tannique" is "The P' Titanic sinks well..."

Ah, those hipsters, where do they come up with this stuff??

Actually I think there was a song about it Thierry sang with his shirt off at a little restaurant in the middle of a river. But then again that could have been one of the other tosspots in the room.

i think the figurative translation is the little tannic that drinks well...takeit from a quebecer...keep it up Joe

Really, take it from a New Yorker ...while this may be the figurative translation, the intended pun is a play on the name Titanic. (from the winemaker's lips)

Sous le Pont Mirabeau coule la Seine . . .

Beneath the Pont Mirabeau sinks the Seine??? I don't think so.
