My Favourite Things

| 0 comments

I composed this whimsical variation on Oscar Hammerstein II’s classic song My Favorite Things as a greeting card at Christmas 2014.

My Favourite Things

Champers from Bouzy and Provençal rosé

Ageing Rioja, its fine fragrant bouquet

Wine lists from cellars in old country inns

These are a few of my favourite things

 

Syrah with pheasant and Chenin from Vouvray

Or if that’s too pricey let’s drink Moulin Touchais!

Wine drunk from glasses with very fine rims

These are a few of my favourite things

 

Vin Jaune from Arbois with two year old Comté

It’s been a big meal, now what was that entrée?

Yes! Demi-sec Riesling with Buffalo wings

These are a few of my favourite things

===

When the cork breaks

When my head spins

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

===

Down with consultants and centrifugation

Oak chips, high scores, micro-oxygenation

Let’s have small growers with vines trained on strings

These are a few of my favourite things

 

D’Yquem with foie gras and Riesling with curry

Long vinous lunches with friends in no hurry

Walkaround tastings with glasses in slings

These are a few of my favourite things

 

Chablis with salmon for lunch at the Hilton

then claret from Pauillac and Port with ripe Stilton

from dusty old bottles the wine waiter brings

These are a few of my favourite things

===

When the cork breaks

When my head spins

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don’t feel so bad
