| wineaux | Posted – 5/12/2008 2:49:35 PM | show profile My name is no longer appropriate, as I'm not in the business anymore and I'm beginning to think people picture me weaving around with a bottle of Cold Duck in hand. I wish I was clever enough to come up with something like Grateful Deadline. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 5/12/2008 3:02:48 PM | show profile How about "Win O"? Or "Wynn Oh"? Or, Donna Chang? |
| wineaux | Posted – 5/12/2008 3:47:55 PM | show profile Everyone will think I'm you if I use D.C. That might make me look smarter, though. I'm going to stay away from a boozy moniker. As I said, I imagine I am viewed as a paper bag toting lush at this point. I was thinking GoingtoMarket....as I do a lot of marketing materials and some of which has to do with the food biz. Or, maybe Marketeer. But, I don't want people to think I'm apart of the Disney family. ::shudder::: MissMarket? Oh, wait. I forgot. I'm Ms.Market. That's not as cute. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. |

| voracious reader | Posted – 5/12/2008 8:39:17 PM | show profile I always liked wineaux! Always sounded French to me and had that savoir faire! |
| df | Posted – 5/12/2008 8:51:37 PM | show profile to stay with he asterix theme (which i always thought is was): marketix/marketfix? |
| writesonwater | Posted – 5/12/2008 8:56:09 PM | show profile How about This Little Piggy (as in Went to market?) I never thot of you as boozy -- I always loved Wineaux, seeing the French thing .. but it could make sense to go with your specialty ... A rose by any other name ... |
| foto | Posted – 5/12/2008 9:26:53 PM | show profile I always thought it was clever too. Now lets see... how about Ripple or Thunderbird or Mad Dog 20 20 or Colt 45? |
| Janetblueyes | Posted – 5/12/2008 10:54:08 PM | show profile I like The Grape Goddess. Or, Goddess Grape. |
| seeattleme | Posted – 5/13/2008 1:53:04 AM | show profile I love wineaux, and never thought you were a drunk. I'd keep it. |
| TGAN | Posted – 5/13/2008 2:17:08 AM | show profile How about . . . . PurpleBasil. Just had some purple basil jelly with organic grass-fed lamb, rare, and a wonderful Thornton winery merlot - properly aged -What a great little meal. Wonderful. And how many other people will be using "purple basil," I ask you. |

| wineaux | Posted – 5/13/2008 12:05:16 PM | show profile I want to dine w/ you, lbd. I like the basil name. I almost named my catering business red clover when I lived in N. Cal, because shortly after I moved there, I took a solo hike and discovered a meadow full of it. I'd never seen red clover before and it really put me into sensory overload. Maybe I'll keep wineaux... I'm still mulling it over. I really like the word crave. If I could come up with a clever way to use that, it might be a contender. |
| pamelabeth | Posted – 5/13/2008 12:34:19 PM | show profile hmm a crave review? craving the way? but i like wineaux! |
| wineaux | Posted – 5/13/2008 2:33:20 PM | show profile okay, okay....I guess I'll keep wineaux. I just hope Wineaux Magazine doesn't send me a cease and desist order. |
| Mirage | Posted – 5/13/2008 4:23:02 PM | show profile I'm still laughing at "mastheadache." |
| mad fingers | Posted – 5/13/2008 5:16:39 PM | show profile always liked "wineaux" Why no? |
