Oh what the hell, Plutarch, I just drank my last can of
Pabst Blue Ribbon and I'm still thirsty so I think
I'll go ahead and award you the prize for second place notwithstanding
the fact that your poems are so far
the only poems in the contest this week.
Anyway...

 Ladies and Gentlemen. It is my immediate pleasure to award Mr. Plutarch 
the prize for the best second place poem of the week, the Annastrophic
- a wonderful 2002 Paul Pillot, Les Mazures white burgundy 
 correctly priced at $37 a bottle with great clarity
 and excellent depth but with a  strong  tannin aftertaste
 and a sharp to bitter acidic bite. [89 points]

Ok, now I have set out two clean glasses...
Cheers and congratulations, Plutarch, drink up!
