It started out as a joke in the pre-shift meeting:
Manager: Mark, describe this Cabernet.
Mark: It's jammy and has delicious ticklish tanninberries.
It's lame but for some reason keeps us endlessly entertained. I'm not exactly sure how this translated into the little game we now play at the restaurant....
Whenever a table leaves a substantial amount of wine in a bottle or if a large group has an open bar tab we take it upon ourselves to sample some wine. And by "sample," I mean "chug."
For example, last night Mark managed to get two full glasses of Chardonnay from a deserted bottle. He hid them in a the back server station then approached Fritz, Heather and I across the restaurant and yelled, "Ticklish Tanninberry Time!"
We all, like rockets, took off running toward the back station. Fritz and Mark screeching to a halt, got to the glasses first and chugged the first halves. Then they quickly pass off the glasses to Heather and I to knock out the rest. All in under 15 seconds. High fives all around.
Love those ticklish tanninberries.
