The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Vintage

Riesling whispers, bated 
breath,
Sapphire lies in blue.
Dreams and nothings, humid, 
swear,
What's a girl to do?
Dangling from dew stained 
strands,
Honey drenched promises.
A kiss, a sigh, venomous faith,
Submissive dominance. 
Saccharin sorrow, chocolate 
and tears,
Drowning, bittersweet.
Praying to the gods below, 
Let her taste defeat.
Chianti screams, suffocated, 
Amber smears of truth.
Dry reality, every silence,
The antiquity of youth.
