Vintner’s Night Before Christmas


Vintner’s Night Before Christmas



The harvest was perfect, the crush was A-1

Total production was up by a ton

The Pinot was all bundled

Up snug in French oak

Fermentation awakened amid memories of cold soak

Who will now buy it?

And how will it be priced?

Will Parker anoint it?

Will the Prince be enticed?

Well, wait until morning

You’ve earned a respite

A cool glass of Pinot

And to all, a Good Night!
