DrinkLocalWine is holding a 47-word essay contest to promote Regional Wine Week, which starts Sunday. My effort is below. It's not as good as Dave McIntyre's (but don't worry -- Dave, my partner in locapour, can't win any of the terrific prizes we have this year). But I think it's better than my haiku last year.
The average August temperature in Texas is in the 90s, and 100 and higher is common. The Burgundy average temperature is 68. What's more surprising: That we have so much trouble growing chardonnay and pinot noir or that it only took 20 years to figure this out?
State song: "The Yellow Burgundy of Texas."
