The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Spirit of November

From where I sat, she entered
not with a sunny day but as
one calm and quiet, smitten
with the threat of rain. 
Mid Fall is a friend to all
and not a stranger to any.
She brings comfort to many
and a harvest for the world.
She believes in celebration
and delights in festivities.
She's a promoter of family,
inspiring travelers to dine
with family members from near
and far. She spends her time
creating and preparing for a
universal spirit of thankfulness.
If by chance you are among the ungrateful
and have desires of dining at November's
thanksgiving table, I'd perish that thought
if I were you. That's because November
is very passionate about the assignment
that her Master has given, and she has
neither patience nor space for any with
an attitude of ingratitude.
