A poem by Nancy Aidé González


Dreaming of Pinot
 
You have earned
a reputation
for your thin
gentle skin,
your temperamental
nature,
your sensitivity
to the desolate
wind,
your preference
for vivacious
sunshine,
and cool
indifferent nights,
you do not tolerate
frost’s talons
on your tendrils.
 
You are demanding,
unyielding,
compelling,
as you rest in
French oak barrels
for months
growing,
changing
aging gracefully.
 
You are all I could have
wanted,
needed,
when I inhale your
seductive perfume
red berries,
plums,
cherries.
 
Your garnet
bewitching
fingers
caress my
crystal glass,
as my tongue
explores your
soft tannins,
your elegant
voluptuous
flavors,
an explosion of
velvet liquid.
