Traminette is a late mid-season white wine grape which produces wine with pronounced varietal character likened to one of its parents, Gewürztraminer. It is the fifth wine grape cultivar to be named by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station and follows the release of 'Cayuga White' (Einset and Robinson, 1972), 'Horizon' (Reisch et al., 1983) 'Melody' (Reisch et al., 1986), and 'Chardonel' (Reisch et al., 1991).

My Indian friends often say, "do the needful," meaning "do what needs to be done." I just like the way it sounds.

I heard this word pronounced "missle-d" on NPR of all places, in a movie review. That experience has bothered me for longer than I care to reveal.
