My Favorite Things
You may have noticed I have a penchant for taking the lyrics for Christmas songs and butchering, I mean, modifying them to fit a winemaking theme. Last year, was the “12 Days of Christmas”, during the harvest- “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, and, as you see from the title, this year will be “My Favorite Things” or as I have renamed it, “The Winemaker’s Favorite Things”. I have included a youtube version of the music in case you want to sing along as you read. No, that is not an attempt to draw attention away from my silly lyrics. So here goes…
Raindrops in winter and bright summer sunshine
Bright golden medals and good homemade moonshine
Brown cardboard wine-shippers tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Bold fruity Merlots and crisp Viogniers
Malbecs and fat checks and champagne with beignets
Wine gifts and food gifts that Christmastime brings
These are a few of my favorite things
Short golden harvests before hibernation
This year’s vintage completes fermentation
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the frost bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
May your holiday season be filled with all of your favorite things!
