Lake Chalice The Falcon

Sauvignon Blanc

Let’s drop the bikes here and jump this fence. On the other side is an apple orchard filled with vivid green Granny Smiths. Just at that moment, a cloud comes over, and its tiny raindrops become a downpour instantly. But rather than run for cover we dance, spin and giggle as it cools us from the summer sun. We stick out our tongues and let the raindrops hit the inside of our mouths. The rain tastes like fresh lemon zest and crisp Granny Smiths as it bounces off their skins. As soon as the rain has started, it feels like it’s over again. The vibrant taste lingers in your mouth. Let’s get home; it’s nearly dinner time.
