With apologies to Oscar Hammerstein II (and those better at meter and rhyme; in other words, nearly everyone) and more than a little poetic license, these are a few of my favorite things:
Pinot, Blaufrankisch
From Beneduce
Mt. Salem’s Veltliner to go with my Sushi
Unionville Syrah and of course, Chardonnay
These wines make for a wonderful day
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sangiovese
Or Persara Turdo
These are liquid treasures I know
Tomasello Palmeris, make mine Cab Sauv
or BDX from Heritage I’ll have
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At Sharrott I know
Their Sangria’s Just Peachy
A Fox Hollow Riesling, lest I get preachy
Amalthea Zin or Europa VII
These sure taste like liquid Heaven
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When I spill some
Worse yet, break one
When words don’t come my way
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cab Franc or Merlot
From White Horse Winery
A Chard Reserve with Laurita’s finery
Autumn Lake Albarino well done
Natali’s Barbera to add to the fun
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cape May Winery’s
Tap Room is hip
Their Port-style red sure does the trick
Alba’s Mainsail White is sublime
Auburn Road’s Solé is fine
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A Cab Sauv/Merlot
from Plagido
Old York Cellars Malbec just so
A Brook Hollow Cab Franc to make my day
Santa is there still room on your sleigh?!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When I spill some
Worse yet break one
When words don’t come my way
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
These are a few of my favorite things. What about yours?
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to All and to all a Good Night!
Cheers!
