Ah the wise words of the Scottish novelist and poet Robert Louis Stevenson. Known for his famous works of Treasure Island and Dy Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Stevenson was a prolific writer who has won the attention of prolific readers and now even wine lovers. He even mentions wine in more than one of his poems. Here is a brief excerpt from
“A Valentine’s Song” MOTLEY I count the only wear That suits, in this mixed world, the truly wise, Who boldly smile upon despair And shake their bells in Grandam Grundy's eyes.
Singers should sing with such a goodly cheer That the bare listening should make strong like wine, At this unruly time of year, The Feast of Valentine.
We wholeheartedly agree that wine belongs to literature!
