AFW haiku contest

Been long time since I did haiku, and I always sucked at it. Supposed to be a seasonal theme like yours, right? One for each season,but I think so far pizza and 2BC are in your future

lilacs from dead ground sweet briney oysters on plate give me Muscadet

heat and sun bear down Rosé from Provence my dear summer is good-ah!

beef braising in wine Barolo is food of gods truffles are in now

logs on fire sweet smoke Cote Rotie is singing sweet blanket on the lap

It's not necessarily about wine but a rather feminist young lady from Japan who worked for me came up with:

Cherry Blossom Festival

Just been doing the 'sensory input' part of my behav neuro class, which probably explains..

Olfaction first, then Gustation and mouth feel sing. A rich Zinfandel.

I'm game...

Oh no, the boss said, "No pay raises till next year" Carlo Rossi time!

Dan-O 8-(

Waah, good one Dan!

My Dad used to keep big jugs of Carlo Rossi in the fridge, which he would decant into better (and already emptied) bottles; he actually served this to guests many times. They usually glanced at the expensive labels and complimented the wine!

He'll probably sue me for public libel for letting the story out, the wastrel!

I'm game. :)

Pinot Noir... my love! Soft, tender, inviting... red. Intoxicating.

my first post:

undergraduate more intersted in wine than boring school work

evening alone time to open a bottle no longer alone

A young spanish red bold and fruity character perfect for college

empty bottle sits a most unbecoming sight time to open more

-possibly the youngest poster to afw mush to learn, much less to offer

Nice one, Tom! Welcome to AFW. Now all you have to do is find another undergraduate to share the next bottle with.

I remember in my uni days we had a weekly dinner with the boys (and too occasionally girls) where a different few of us each week got in the wine. Had lots of fun, learned a lot, and of course that way I got to eat once per week.
