I'M DREAMING OF A RED CHRISTMAS
BY: ALLIE MERRICK

i'm dreaming of a red christmas
with all the wines i love and know
cabernet that's intense and immense
and smooth, silky merlot

tempranillo with spice
can be naughty but nice
though as far as reds go
i prefer a pinot

shiraz is generally fine by me
especially when it's peppery
and zinfandel will make me merry
with layers of rich, black cherry

while visions of sugar plums fill your head
what i desire comes in shades of red
and in a bottle not a box with a bow
at the sight of which i begin to glow

so, as i dream of a red christmas
with all the wines i love and know
please pour me a cab that's intense and immense
or a smooth and silky merlot
