the winery

you go
to the winery
and taste
some wines.
there are many
noses in the air,
sniffing before
sips are taken from
small cups
of red, of white
grapes
culled and grown
and eventually
picked and squashed
right there
on the grounds,
fresh off the vine.
there is spitting too.
you have been spitting
since you were ten,
this is something
you can do,
but they are not
amused when you
ask if there are
any wines that taste
just like vodka
with a twist of lime.
