Springtime In The Valley

A spring time drive in the valley
In wine tasting we partake
As black swans glide gracefully
At the vineyard by the lake

Row upon row of gnarled wood
Grapes hung from the vine
Huge green and purple bunches
Soon to be bottles of wine

  Down the steps into the cellars  
With wooden casks stored
   We are offered samples of wine
Sweet and dry was poured

   Having our tastebuds tantalised
   With the best food and wine
     In the lakeside garden resturant
      We relaxed in the sunshine

~ I really liked the rhyming scheme... smooth and melodic. Also, this reminded me of Spring, which would be nice right about now living here in Pittsburgh. One more thing, your words reminded me of that Oscar worthy movie in 2005 about wine making - Sideways. Enjoyed!

Makes me want to be there

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Such a lovely tribute to a memory that you obviously cherish.  It is a fun poem to read and you transported me to wine country.  I had never been before.

Thank you.
