A Shared Experience

I like a tasty gin and tonic,

Margarita, or daiquiri.

Whiskey, bourbon, scotch, or vodka

Really don't do much for me.

 

But wine--ah!--a good glass of wine

Sits at the top of my preference list,

And when I'm in a social mood,

A glass of wine is hard to resist.

 

The words "social mood" are key,

For when I drink wine, I say with no shame

That if it isn't shared with somebody

Else, it doesn’t taste the same.

 

Yes, the shared experience

Is what gives wine its special flavor.

Every glass is a new adventure,

And every sip is something to savor.

 

Whether it's creamy, flamboyant, bold,

Fruity, bright, complex or not,

Fleshy, oaky, toasty, velvety,

Crisp, or buttery, wine hits the spot.

 

So any time you have a bottle

To share on any day of the week,

Bring it over. I've got the glasses.

Oh-la-la! C'est magnifique!
