I have the wine, I need the poetry
 
Poem Cellars needs to put a poem on our cork for the 2007 vintage and nothing submited has wowed us.
I suggested “Shall I compare thee to a Chardonnay?
Thou art more more lush and more restrained...”
My partners said no. We have real poetry in the bottle and we want a real poem on the cork.  I can’t blame them, they are right. Last year we were delighted by the Haiku of Sharon Riehle that graces our corks--
Full bodied beauty
The memory of her scent
She intoxicates
If anyone would  submit a poem to us and we use it we shall provide you with thanks, a tiny bit of fame and bottles of fine wine. Did I mention that we would be thankful?
