What was the word that Dressner used to describe cult cabs?

Dressner used words to describe a lot of things. If it describes something from California, it can't be good.
 
No, none of those. He used it all the time and I'm just having a mental block.

It's what started the "think of the newbies!" meme.

Because if someone came to WLDG and saw Bryant Family described that way they would be terrified and never come back.
 
I am honestly blanking. Given the various archival destructions over the years, I think your only shot of finding it if no one remembers is maybe one of Joe’s old blogs (somewhere?) or Wine Asylum (where our posts from 20+ years ago still exist) or Compleat Winegeek. Maybe scour those sites.

Unfortunately, The Amazing Misadventures of Captain Tumorman was taken down shortly after Joe's death. I'm sure we all wish we could go back and read his entries.

I actually did look at Compleat Winegeek, the Clash of the Ayatollas, but, alas, no mention there.

It's what got Plotnicki so upset with him.

Do remember clearly Dressner dissing CA wine, but no specific word comes to mind. Wonder if he did it, too, to piss off Plotnicki, which was very easy to do.

hard to think of swill as a tumorman special.

a different voice, but this is quite wonderful:

"Wow." A HUGE! motor-oil thick spiky flabfest, made from hundred-fifty-three year old vines. Eight gooey grey-white prongs sculpted from a combination of Crisco and corn starch, with a painter's dropcloth wrapped around the bottom to keep them from staining the carpet.

Now that's more like it.

You're welcome. I did not do a full inventory but Dressner posted words, or mostly words, and that's what the Wayback Machine captures so I suppose the whole thing is there.

Alas, this same trick does not work on Therapy.
