flavour profusion
tantalising my palate -
cut grass and raspberries
Swirling the deep redness in my glass, my thoughts turn to those early days of rough local wine, endless southern European sunshine, real friendships strengthened under canvas and starlit skies.
vin rouge et rosé
pastis avant le dîner -
digestif après
With advancing years comes a discernment and the assurance that the more one is able to pay, the better the wine. Aged in oak casks, with undertones of sweet vanilla and spice, this pleases my taste buds. I luxuriate in my superior knowledge and financial position.
vin supérieur
in cut glass splendour cries 'class'
while I weep for youth
