Sometimes we have fun at work over silly things. Last year, around this time, we were debating Pinot-Rama as a seminar title. This year, the theme varietal/style at Winefest is Rosé, so now we have Rosé-Rama! (We're very big on exclamation marks this year). Last year, we had a mingling event called Gaga for Gewurz, so this year the Exec. Director was keen on a similar name this year. It started out as Ra-ra for Rosé!, but after a flurry of emails last night and this morning, we decided that if we were cheering, it would rah, rah, rah (as per this article, and my weekly end of game ritual). So now we have our own cheer - Rah, Rah, Rosé!

I'm not thrilled with them either, but the worst one is the French lunch, where the committee head is insisting on a space before the exclamation point. Someone warned me about that one in advance so I wouldn't go ballistic :)
I'm not sure about Shiraz, but Harry is looking forward to the next German year when he can have an event called "Hurrah for Huxelrebe!"
If you want an amazing Australian wine, try Majella. I don't know how widely it's distributed in the States, but if you find it, it's worth the price.

The Edmonton Fringe Festival has a different theme every year, as long as it has the word Fringe in it - usually as a verb. The year I volunteered it was "See Spot Fringe" and all of the activities and positions had dog-related nicknames. The other volunteer and I walked around all afternoon and kept hearing "we need a dogcatcher at venue such-and-such" over and over, and were puzzled because we didn't see any dogs. Then someone told us that that was code for the people who pick up the money from ticket sales. Did we feel dumb!
