Song of the Bordeaux Wine Journalist for 2010

(With apolgies to Peter, Paul and Mary...)

Well the iPad’s packed, I’m ready to go.

The wines are waiting in Bordeaux

The best the vignerons could all create

With the barrel samples in Ste. Estephe

Pomerol and Saint Julien

Already in Margaux they seem quite pleased

So kiss me and smile at me

Tell me that you'll taste with me

The like of Twenty-Ten won’t come again

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I hope that you’ll invite me back again

Oh, babe, we love Bordeaux

There’s so many times you do declare

“This vintage is beyond compare”

I'll tell you now, words don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I taste your wine

Though each glass is not always tasted blind

When I get back you’ll surely hear me sing

So kiss me and smile at me

Tell me that you'll taste with me

The like of Twenty-Ten won’t come again

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I hope that you’ll invite me back again

Oh, babe, we love Bordeaux

Soon the day will come when you go too far

And you price your wines beyond the stars

We’ll close our eyes, and pray you see our way

Dream about the wines to come

New vintages priced to a modest sum

And about the times I won't have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile at me

Tell me that you’ll taste with me

The like of Twenty-Ten won’t come again

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I hope that you’ll invite me back again

Oh, babe, we love Bordeaux

Find me on Twitter and Face Book. And, write to me at MiguelLecuona@mac.com.  And please let me know how you are doing.

Don’t waste time on bad wine.

The better the wine, the easier it is to share.

Invite a friend.  Pull that cork!

You need no more reason than that.
