Wine Haiku...

Malodourous cork!
O foul smell, o wint'ry mood,
Back to the cellar...

Haiku Fan Mail

My father-in-law took issue with my feeble attempt at the Haiku format as I was missing the "kigo", or season word. In response he supplied me with a proper, and very well-written, wine Haiku:

"Poetic wine, so heady!
A cause to Fall? - Spring up
And drink again"

- Kenn

Who knew I married into a family of poets? Cheers, Kenn.

WBW #42: Just 7 Words, A Wine Haiku

Seeking a challenge beyond the mandatory seven word wine review, I decided that my WBW #42 review should be in Haiku form. My apologies to Haiku enthusiasts everywhere...

Acidic palate
Vegetal cappuccino
A cabernet franc?

Wine: 2006 Podere Castorani Majolica Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
cork. 13% alcohol
Score: 14/20
Price: C$12.35 (SAQ)

Close enough to $12, I call this Twelve under $12 #2.

Many thanks to Andrew of Spitoon and the whole Wine Blogging Wednesday crew.
