Wine tasting
Warmth of an Indian summer’s day
Heightened the sweet aroma of a ripe harvest
Delicate grapes being pressed
A nectar worthy of the gods
Hand in hand walking the endless trail of vines
Smiling in the subtle romantic overtones
Coy hints to a desired kiss
The wine awakens the sleeping passions
Bottled with care and aged experience
Each label seeking the coveted taste
Shared between lovers
Discovering the full bodied affects
A plate of cheese to enhance the palate
Each sip intensifies a growing hunger
The richness of the wine matches her ruby lips
To sample both is a day of satisfaction
The long drive home becomes more playful
Sheltered behind a one way glass
Senses of pleasure increase with touch
Lingering taste of wine shared by both
A carnal exploration of mind and spirit
Accompanied by the robust flavor of wines
The day started out as an adventure
And ends with thirst quenching partnership
