The wines were from the Alto Adige area of Northern Italy. For two hours, people from across the United Sates tweeted about the wines on a constant stream of tweets. Wine author Karen MacNeil chimed in with her comments and replies to others\u2019 comments. As usual for Twitter, I refrained from my customary wine descriptions to writing haikus for each wine. I chose this poetic style in part because of a challenge from Eric Asimov, New York Times wine critic. Eric suggested that wine writes become more creative in their wine descriptions. A haiku made sense especially when applied to tweets where the characters are limited. With only 17 syllables, one can write a haiku and still have characters left over for retweets.
