Writers Block or Sour Grapes?
Bottled inside are the fruits of your labor,
fermenting,
maturing,
waiting…..
until just the right time,
to pop your words and make a splash.
Your gifts are manifesting into fruition.
Be patient my friend.
Pour each word onto the page slowly,
precisely,
delicately,
savoring the harvest,
celebrating words flowing,
as you dip your quill into the well
where words spring forth,
once again.

Zinfandel 2016 Lake County Zinfandel produced and bottled by OMS Group (whoever they are) Kelseyville, California USA.
When Clay Shannon of Shannon Family Wines bought Steele Winery and opened The Merchantile in Kelseyville, we scored with an amazing case price of 50.00 to move the old wine out. There were 12 different wines in the case. Some of it is barely drinkable but this bottle is awesome. I just so happened to crack the bottle open the other night with another bout of bad new on the tellie, tongue tied with the news and I was shocked to taste this wonderful surprise. I had no idea what was in the case when we bought it so it was like winning the Lottery when I saw the bottle and read the label, “Writer’s Block”. Wish I could buy a few cases of just this.
So it’s true when life gives you sour grapes, turn them into the best darn thing available and in this case it is this Zinfandel. Congratulations OMS and if you’re reading this please do let me know if there’s any more where this came from.
Happy Hump Day!
Cheers,
🍷🍷

Hi Cindy, a lovely poem and very relatable to me.

Ha! Maybe the grapes help cure the block? Or make you not care so much about it? LOL
😊😁💕🌹
That’s for sure! I think a little of both.. 😂
Hopefully neither! 😊

Loved this blend of word and wine in this beautiful reflection on what it takes to both make a delicious wine and craft a beautiful poem. ❤
I love this, Cindy! 💞💞💞 I frequently refer to the process of letting ideas bounce around in my brain before they are ready to get onto the page as ‘fermenting’.
That is one smart thing to do Dawn!! Glad this was relatable! 💕
