Once I looked again at the name of the wine, however, I realized that the "tip" on the cork is meant to be interpreted as a command.
Good thing I had a friend with whom to "tip the Toad Hollow" otherwise I might have become very tipsy.

Tip Toad Through the Tulips
When I first saw the top of this cork I couldn't help but sing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips". I guess this is because verbalizing the words results in the realization of "tip toad" as the homophonic past tense "tiptoed".
Good thing I had a friend with whom to "tip the Toad Hollow" otherwise I might have become very tipsy.

Kathleen - Outstanding words to promote. Keep up the fun amphibious phrasings too.
P.S. If you want to send me some free samples with more fun phrases, I will be happy to keep writing about your creative use of lnaguage (as well as your wonderful wine).
