Call me a Cab, but not a Spätburgunder

I beg your pardon, eh,
But I don't like Chardonnay.
Give me Gewurtztraminer:
It has a taste that's cleaner.

And then there's Pinot Gris:
Yes, that's the white for me.
(Unless I have a Tokay--
As sweet stuff goes, it's OK.)

A Riesling can be fine,
When you want German wine.
Or some Sauvignon Blanc
(Just good stuff--not the plonk.)

Red Pinot Noir, no doubt,
Is what wine's all about--
Although a Zinfandel
Is also very swell.

Norton? What (or who)
Is Norton? What's he do?
A Merlot can be grand,
When it's grown on good land.

A Vidal ice-wine's yummy,
And Baby Duck is crummy.
But better (final thought!)
That you have wine than not.
