A word for today

Zaftig. This came up on my wine-lover's page-a-day calendar, comparing a Napa Pinot Blanc to chardonnay. It said it was a good wine for when you don't want something quite so rich, something a little more restrained. "That would be a good pinot blanc, which is never quite as zaftig as chardonnay."

It means buxom, full-bodied, pleasantly plump, a little heavy.
