Jaws...at 50

50 years of...
a glorious, unfettered, landscape.
a mysterious creature.
an innocent victim...aren’t they all.
a hero, albeit reluctant...pressure does create diamonds, though
(that is what my 8th grade soccer coach told me, after the studs up tackle to my knee)
an administrator, doing what administrators do.
a cadre of compatriots, ready to fight the good fight.
a sacrifice is made...there must always be a sacrifice.
finally, a final confrontation.
and the less glorious, fettered landscape is returned to its glorious, unfettered nature.
Welcome to the Summer of Riesling 2025.
P.S. the Fall of Chardonnay 2024 did not have a happy outcome.
