A Shy Shiraz
Pinotage, they reckon, for cheese
Tempranillo is the choice for Mexican grub
But, I'm somewhat easier to please
While chilling to some melodic jazz
I've had the bold, the brave and the border-line nasty
But I've never had a "Shy Shiraz"
And I've tried a spicy Grenache
I've felt the cranberry burst through a daring Gamay
Which cost me lots of cash
Bought from a dodgy guy named "Baz"
Found a corked Chianti - rather a pity
But I've never had a "Shy Shiraz"
And a beautiful Petit Ver
A Mataro, which did nothing for me
A Malbec, which made my mind whirr
You may prefer beer, whereas
I must keep looking, 'cos it's quite off-putting
That I've never found a "Shy Shiraz"
And a Claret once cleared my head
A Merlot can make me beg for more
Rioja sends me merrily to bed
It gives my mind pizzazz
Then sends me mellow, like a good old fellow
Who's searching for a "Shy Shiraz"
I've had the old world, and the new
But until I find a "Shy Shiraz"
I'll just keep trying - as you do.
Is a blend of razzmatazz
You can find me drinking, while secretly thinking
"I hope I never find a Shy Shiraz"

The majority of "experts" cannot tell the difference, when blindfolded, between red and white but they save their reputations by knowing the difference between sweet and dry. ha-ha ha
