Wine Limericks!
Inspired by my a friend of mine who is writing wine Haiku, I started having fun with wine Limericks! Here are a few which I came up with rather hastily. Try for yourself. If you aren't familiar, Limericks have an 8,8,5,5,8 pentameter and you have to rhyme the 1st, 2nd, and 5th lines, as well as the 2nd and 3rd.
Syrah is my favorite grape. It makes my mind go agape. So round and so sweet. It goes well with meat. I dont mind that it smells like an ape.
Merlot is these days under-rated, and even un-sophisticated, but if you ask Paul, whose "Sideways" had gall, he'd say he's still intoxicated!
A great Pinot sits in my hand. It tastes like the fruit and the land. Red fruits and dry earth, it's value is worth ostensibly one hundred grand!
A grape you should try is Malbec, it tastes very rich what the heck, it doesn't cost much, few dollars and such, so it won't put a dent in your check!
Send me yours!

Have fun with wine, at the AIRPORT!!
We all know how trying it is to kill time at the airport. And these days, with additional security, you have to arrive earlier and earlier. So, there you are with 2 hours to kill, and you can't get any reading done with the screaming baby next to you and the incessant announcements distracting you. So what to do? WINE TASTING!
At select airports around the nation, Vino Volo has put in high-end wine tasting bars with wines by the taste, by the glass, by the flight, and by the bottle.
I had the great pleasure of enjoying tastes of the very prestigious "Amon Ra" Shiraz from Barossa Valley in Australia, as well as flights of Pinot Noir (from Santa Barbara, Burgundy, and Oregon), and Big Reds (Meritage from Virginia, Merlot from Napa, and Zin from Lodi)
I kept the name tags hidden so I could have fun doing blind tasting, and turned what might have been a dull wait sitting in a lounge to a fun hour and a half of wine learning and palate training.
Check out the Vino Volo at an airport near you, and have FUN WITH WINE!! :-)
