What would you name your Wine Shop?

WINE TALK

Let’s throw out a hypothetical - say you’re opening a retail wine store and must decide on a name - you’re the sole owner and the decision is entirely yours. [cheers.gif]

I did this and named it pH Wine Merchant.

Edited: Only relevant if the OP had kept his typo

If possible, part of the name would refer to the location/area where it was located. Thus, when people saw the name, they would have some idea how to locate it and would look for it when in the area.

Bottle and Soul.



edited as I had time to do a quick search and this appears already in play. newhere

Here in LosAlamos…they’re in the process of opening one.
Murray Gell-Mann was working at the Lab, as was George Zweig, when they both proposed, independently, the quark model of
fundamental atomic particles in 1964. Both were students of the great RichardFeynman, Murray (who lives in SantaFe and is in declining health…
and is a genuine wine connoisseur w/ whom I’ve shared wine) received the NobelPrize for his work. George did not.
They (other physicists) did a lot of reserarch at the LAMPF (LosAlamos Meson Physics Facilty) linear accelerator on fundamental particles.

The new shop is being named…tada…“Unquarked”. Pretty danged clever, I thought. Only in LosAlamos would that work.

The Wine Geekery, and my ads would be a series of individual shots of super attractive people (I’d pull from this group, of COURSE) and they’d say ‘THIS is a wine geek!’

The weekend just can’t come fast enough for you, can it.

Break out the cocktail napkins…Frenchie has an idea! [drinkers.gif] [highfive.gif]

A guy has a shop here in N.O. And to the best of my knowledge he is the sole owner. He calls it: “The Wine Seller”. Great name!

Basement Bordeaux

Total Wino. (for as long as it holds)

I can’t beat Unquarked, though.
