The Battle of the Two

The aroma of battle between cheese and charcuterie is in the air,
As the red wine flows and cider that tastes like a pear.

Rack after rack full of bottles to sip,
I race between each place and leave a tip.

Taverns and Shacks.
Places to sit, sip and relax.

I am writing a post on the war between the palatable wine and delectable cheese.
The winner will not be a breeze. 

Each step I take brings me near,
A war of the cheese makes me fear.

Who will win, Gouda or Brie?
There is no guarantee.

Cheddar and Mozzarella stand with pride,
Bidding for the honour to be certified.

Across the towns, the people unite,
Drinking wine and eating cheese in tiny bites.

Families gather around the charcuterie platter,
Excitement in the air and plenty of chatter.

Tastes like heaven,
Wine and cheese that is the question. 

The taste grew for the wine lover too,
It has been an honour, bottle after bottle, drinking the brew.

The fight continues between the pairs,
A mouthful of delightful crumbs,
which one will succumb.

Sipping or chewing, a marriage at best,
White gown and tux, we are blessed.

The eternal romance of the paring of wine and cheese.
The moments were bliss, as together they appease
