@savoirpair One syllable Wine tasting - or you get bopped! Inspired by #neanderthalpoetry ♬ Cena Engraçada e Inusitada de 3 Minutos - HarmonicoHCO
Over the holidays, we spent time with family and were introduced to a great game – Poetry for Neanderthals . The object of the game is to get your team to guess a word by decribing it using only one syllable words. So if the word is house you can say, “Place where you live” But you can’t say “dwelling”. If you use a multisyllable word you get bopped on the head with an inflatable cave man club. We paired the game with some Champagne – which made it even funnier, lol. We had so many laughs playing that it inspired us to try it with wine tasting.
Wine tasting reviews are typically the realm of pretentious, snooty people who like to say words like Tannin, Residual Sugar and Malolactic Fermentation . We thought it would be funny to force ourselves to use only one syllable words to describe the wine, and it turns out you get a more visceral review than if you use big words. We had a lot of fun with this and suggest you try it – or try the game at least!
