White Zinfandel??? If that isn't the definition of an oxymoron I don't know what is.

Not really, but I do see where you are going w/it. Zinfandel is a type of grape. That grape comes in different colors... Like Chef said about the rose or the red.

 

Are you thinking of "tautological" or "tautology" instead of "oxymoron?"

 

Who better to bring this to your attention than me! :-) :-) ;-)

 

Tautological name places is redundant. Examples like:

 

La Brea Tar Pits = The Tar Tar Pits

Lake Michigan = Lake Large Lake

Lake Tahoe = Lake The Lake

 

Or something that is a drink, etc...

Chai Tea = Tea Tea (really masala chai)

 

Here is a list:

Everclear or GTFO

He's in NYS... Do they even sell it there?

 

Here, I think you can by that stuff @ the gas station... Go figure.

The grape does not come in different colors. Rose wine is made by leaving the juice to macerate with the skins for a shorter amount of time.

Chef, I drink Rose with lunch in the summer quite a bit. Not sweet Rose like white zin, but nice dry Rose can be quite nice on a summer day.

I love me (or used to anyway) a good chilled rose on a hot day.

I already pointed that out to him.
