Good Morning Gentle Readers:
A few of you have commented on that link over there that takes you to Red Wine Haiku Review so I thought I would specifically bring it to everyone's attention this morning.
While some find haiku insipid, boring, and dull TWC thinks it's kind of fun. Throw in the Red Wine connection and there you have it (because red wine is what all wine would be if it could choose).
....it seems to me that haiku is the perfect vehicle to encapsulate all aspects of red wine, from the mysteriously sublime to the numbingly mundane. These haikus provide a quick blast of an impression without getting too specific. If the haikus are good, you should be able to taste them in your mind. Disclaimer: Why only red? The renowned critic Harry Waugh once said it was wine's obligation to be red.
Technical notes: I buy all bottles except for the odd gift from a friend. No decks are stacked for or against. For the purposes of this website, all haikus are strict 5-7-5 syllables per line. That way the playing field is level for all.
AS Ever,
TWC
