A Toast of Christmas Cheer!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,       
Everyone was smiling, even my spouse.

The kitchen was stirring filled with laughter and glee,
As the lights were sparkling on our Christmas tree.

We had all settled in for a warm winter’s meal,
The table was filled with lots of appeal.

From the decorations and decanters to the feast galore,
The ladies were saying, who could ask for more?

When the men saw the beef, they let out a squeal,
And were more than grateful I wasn’t serving kale.                                   

To add to the merriment, we reached for a glass,
And toasted our good fortune with a Grand Cru Classe!

The fruit from the vine was more than divine,
In fact, two magnums went down in no time.

So I went to my cellar in search for more wine,
And the California Cabs looked simply sublime!

Now Jordan! Now, Cakebread! Now, Plumpjack, and Caymus!
On, Duckhorn! On, Silver Oak! On, Opus and Grgich!

To the table you go!

Everyone cheered as they saw liquid gold,
And gave one last toast to the young and the old!

Merry Christmas to all from the Crystal Palate!
