This weekend is the 2012 Côtes du Coeur, the biggest wine-focused charity fundraiser on the Dallas calendar. The event raises funds for the American Heart Association and in its 21 years has raised over $16m for heart research. Every year the organization honors a leading figure from the wine world with the Tête du Cuvée Award. This year’s recipient is superstar California wine maker David Ramey, owner and wine maker at Ramey Wine Cellars. I was fortunate to chat to him yesterday prior to the Grand Tasting. Tonight he receives the award at the International Fine Wine Auction and Celebrity Chef Dinner.

  1. COTES DU COEUR

    Monsieur,
    Tonight we met at valet.
    Attracted to your silver vest,
    And lilac tie,
    I leaned it to discuss the evening.
    You leaned in to peer
    Down my cleavage.
    “I’m 90,” you shared
    And I understood.
    Loving that about
    You that was like me.
    As you drove away
    In your yellow VW,
    I drove home smelling
    The cologne of your youth
    And realizing,
    I can be a flirt forever.
