It's been more than 20 years since I was born in the Pauillac region of Bourdeaux, France,one of the very best of my kind.I traveled through various regions of the world to reach where I am today - lying in the liquor cabinet of a budding businessman in London. Surprisingly I'm the only one lying there since the time he bought me in 2010. There have been tens of his friends coming over and watch me lie there in my special cell. Many asked him pointing towards me,"What are u waiting for?" and he would reply,"oh, she's not ready yet. When the right time comes, I won't wait even for a minute more. :)" to which his friends would so then when she be ready? "Oh, I'l know it" would come his reply.
Today, he come home ecstatic. He had finally won the bid for a multi million dollar tender that he had worked so hard for since the past three months.
He came close to my humble abode and opened it to feel me case. And said to himself,"You are absolutely ready to be devoured now!!!"
He brought out of his most expensive flutes, filled it three quarters with coc. My eyes went wild with horror as I anticipated the worst - to be had with soda!!!. My worst fears came true and indeed I felt insulted to the core as I just realised that all the while that he pampered me in that transparent cabinet was just to show off to the world that he could drink me. But the truth is i was just some kind of a trophy for him that he could show off to the world. He never realised my true worth and he never realised the true worth of the money that he spent on me either.
Now as I lay in his glass waiting for the last of me to reach his lips, I wish he had bought me to enjoy me in my entirety. I wish i wasn't just his show off; to show off to the world that he had opened a brand new bottle of wine - one of the very best indeed.
