"A bottle of good wine, like a good act, shines ever in the retrospect"

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)


Poem Artwork

There is dust on the bottle

A fine merlot, soft and mellow

Aged almost to perfection

Hints of raspberry and chocolate

Fermented from fruit whose Autumn's

warm days and cool nights

produce the right balance of tannins

The science of chemistry and survival

The art of love and time

The romance of heart and reason

Just because there is dust on the bottle does not mean that what is on the inside is not great.
