And the Haiku Contest Winner (of a pair of classicly structured and poetic CCV wines) is: Bren Norris (a local and loyal Wine Club Tecolote member!) Bren cautions us to pronounce Charles as 2 syllables, for the sake of the 5-7-5 syllabic requirement. We can do that:

Red and white wine flow
Off to Charles Creek I go
Taste with cow moo low

Congratulations Bren!

CCV Limerick Contest

Example 1:
If a great Chardonnay you do seek,
Ask your "Doctor' to prescribe Charles Creek.
Take "Sorpresa" on Monday,
"Patolitas" on Sunday,
(Seven days without wine makes one weak)!
In the same vein (jugular) as our Haiku Contest (which, unlike the successful 'Toon Caption Contest, most of you roundly ignored), we are soliciting creative, humorous Limerick ideas with wine, food (lifestyle) or Charles Creek as the subject matter. The examples provided are intended to convey the idea that ANYBODY can do it (and probably better we can)!
Basic form: 5 lines.
The first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 8 or 9). The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 5 or 6).

Example 2:
There was an imbiber named Sydney
Who liked drinking Malbec with kidney,
Then a Sommelier said:
"Drink a Pinot instead"
But he drank what he wanted to, did'ney?

Email your Limerick entry to alan@charlescreek.com with "CCV Limerick" in the subject line. The winner will receive a pair of seriously delicious Charles Creek wines.
