Trivel and drivia: it's credited to "Stick McGhee" somewhere: both Wynonie Harris and Jerry Lee Lewis had hits off it. The term means wine with a whack of whisky (or gin, I guess) thrown in for added potency.Kerouac mentions it in "on the Road", I think. I knew a guy once fond of half-and-half white port and red port, with a shot of Seagram's 7 on top, which still doesn't make me shudder as much as another guy I met once who enjoyed dumping an envelope of salted peanuts into a glass, covering that with Southern Comfort, and topping it with Coke. Mm-mm.
