Red Cabernet, Sauvignon,Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Merlot,
Chardonnay, Sauterne, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Zinfandel, 
Bordeaux, Muscat, Gewurtztraminer, Chenin blanc

Grapes plucked from vines,
Fermented,
Pressed,
Aged,
Bottled

Sommelier uncorks
Swirls the liquid,
Smells the bouquet,
Guages the body
the tannins, the acidity
Slowly sipping

Makes me mellow
with my fellow
Giddy with only two
Serious and subdued
Floating flawlessly 

Like words on the page
Instilling a tone, a thought,
a moment in time uncorked
by the poet.
