| The Semiotic Sommeliers ~ Those Uncorking,
Yapping Yorkie
Puppies
Sommeliers are cohorts we all must endure
If passing The Cog’s Wheel we want to assure.
They lecture.
They cofactor
They preach.
They scold.
When cock-a-doodling the cocker spaniel,
They’re a thing to behold.
Candidly, sommeliers can codify you right out of your tree.
When driving home, after their coffee break,
They’ll want you to see, to
Listen. So rehearse.
Coerce.
Pay attention!
Look!!!
And what they think is cobbled is gobbledygook.
Sommeliers have features that might rip your inseam.
Or make you feel you were co-channeled inside a bad dream.
You’d run.
You’d hide.
You’d recoil .
You’d depart.
Sommeliers uncork proudly, heart ~
Felt knowledge they impart, sniffing well.
They’d really be a Cointreau cocktail
If they weren’t so darn smart.

After throwing away $40 -$50 bucks a handfull of times for NVG ( not
very good ) I gave up.
"But I've never tasted a
wine that was "dead"
I disagree! .. the "memorable" stuff is so, so, so, so more memorable,
it's light years removed from the 'plonc' or the inmature.
If you have never experience that "memorable" wine ... then all the
vinticulture 'stuff' comes across ... as absolute "subjective"
bullshit coming from some one whom has more money than sense and wants
to be 'important'.
Experience a really, really memorable wine JUST ONCE ( ...or twice )
with somebody pointing things out .
Everything changes completely!
Why doesn't the wine industry promote itself better. ... In my
friend's opinion, the good "stuff" is kept at home and drunk. The crap
is exported.

you're only willing to enjoy "fine" wine."

Again, those are not my words. Twittering has again attributed the words of
Katherine Wolfe to me.

As usual, I have no idea what you're getting at. In a message dated Jan 22
you gave a little rerun of last week's poetical discourse about the
obnoxious Sommelier, which was also baffling to me except that I was pretty
sure it was intended to poke fun at me for going on about sniffing and
sighing over wine. Only I didn't. Katherine Wolfe is the wine connoisseur.
I hold my nose and drink Manichevitz. BTW, I am plenty capable of
embarrassing myself with my own words. Mixing them up with the words of
others seems superfluous. Why don't you just move on? There's nothing more
to see here, missy. Don't you have some other poor unfortunate souls to
bully on another NG?

Is it O.K. to double-bang old Bert, seeing as to how he isn't around
anymore to defend himself?
" fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves" translated
as UTTERLY INSECURE about themselves
" wiser people so full of doubts" meaning very 'self-confident'.
H'mm, intersting what happens when one 'shakes' the tree.

I take it as absurdist meanderings, not bullying. If she (mis)quotes
me I let it be.

Hi George, : )

My apologies.
My mistake. And also, your poems,
Yes, tart and qwerty, a compliment!

I'm sorry I overreacted. I'm actually not touchy about the poems -- I don't
have a lot invested there. I thought you were calling *me* weird. It's
kind of a sore spot, due to being not particularly normal.
