Lane, just looking at redwine again. I spun down quickly and found this lovely piece:
Vina Pomal Rioja Riserva (Spain) 1997
Underneath the bull
It can sometimes smell like this
Secrets of the barn

I'm not saying this is my favorite -- yet. But it's what I love in haiku. A haiku, when it works, is a little epiphany. And this achieves that. The poem is commenting on wine, but it works powerfully without the wine. Erase the poem's title, and the other meaning of the poem comes sharply into focus. The reference in the poem to the wine is the lone word this. Take away the title and the wine reference, and "this" becomes a myserious, potent odor. But what is it? Who dares to smell it, to find himself beneath the bull? Not I.

I can't wait to be unpregnant to try the Red Bicyclette. Your haikus are lovely.

I really enjoy your wine haiku reviews, but would it be possible for you to date the haiku's so I know when I'm looking at new ones?

Thanks!

Lane, I just read about your haiku on jancisrobinson.com who read about you in an LA Times article. I love it.

Would you mind if I used your Guilliams haiku on our site? We are an illinois based distributor and sell Guilliams. We have always liked how thier wines change with air time and you captured it. We are at www.candidwines.com. Thanks!

Love your commentaries, Lane. Posted you among only a couple links at spiritofwine on blogspot.

Just wrote a post about this and thought I'd share since you were in it. I'm a wine writer who avoids writing wine reviews, a poet who skips over the haiku.

Tasting notes scare me
due to my humble palate.
Haikus give me hope.

moved by the 2003 Mora Negra by Finca Las Moras in Argentina to write my first Haiku on a cold Friday night in Glasgow ...

With the multitude of alcohol-related horror stories in the news these days it seems to me that you and other wine lovers (and wine tasters) need to get your message out to more people. Let people know that drinking wine in moderation has been shown to have many health benefits. Spread the news about the fun and good times you have experienced with wine drinking and wine tasting :-)

If you are interested in wine making then you need to do a little homework before you get started. Wine making is not

something that you can just plunge into and learn along the way, you need to do some research so that you know that you

are not missing any vital wine making steps or processes. If you do miss these wine making your wine could very well turn

out tasting like anything but wine.

Wine making is a something fun that you can do in your spare time and at the end you will have a glorious result. Wine

making is something that people tend to get hooked on because the very first batch is not usually perfect, it may taste

delicious but it will not be perfect. As you learn about wine making and as you get the wine making experience behind you

your wine will get better and better. You will undoubtedly pick up tips and tricks to help you improve your wine making

capabilities.

So glad to find another wine haiku site! Our young winery, San Sakana Cellars, has a wine haiku section dedicated to the interplay of wine and life, love, lust, and food! I love your haiku and would love to cross link if we can -- please visit us at http://www.sansakana.com/category/haiku

Hi, loved your haiku for Rock Rabbit Syrah 2003 - I quoted it in my writeup. It's one of the nicest inexpensive Syrahs I've tried lately.

Hello!

I have gone through your websites mentioning the interests on haiku. I cant help but to share interest with you, as I have just written a book on haiku titled “Antologi Haiku 2006”. Its actually a book on Japanese haiku written in Malay with English and Japanese translation. If you would like to know more about it, don’t hesitate to visit my weblog at:

Thank you.
p/s. sorry for the uninvited email.

So how do I shoot you an email to get on your haiku mailing list? I looked for a link...never saw one. I actually mentioned to Alder that haikus would be great for wine blogging Wednesday. Then, I discovered your site.

Totally brilliant, I love it! I've been posting about Ancient Chinese and Japanese poetry that references wine (Li Po, Han Shan, Issa, Sung P'o, etc.) on our blog, and was fishing around for wine-themed Haiku when I stumbled across your blog. Again, I love it! I'm going to add this to our blogroll, and mention it in a post as well. Kudos!

Great concept. This will make for some great bed time reading...with a glass of red wine of course!

There is a pleasure in READING about dry red wine, especially old ones, even if the reader will never actually taste the subject of a column. Keep writing about interesting things, please.
