a particular farmhouse

IMPERFECT poet Catherine Flynn wrote this poem about a famous fictional mistake using many of the author's own words. Can you name the author or the character?
This is just to say
Forgive me,
I did not mean
to intoxicate
my bosom friend.
But in my joy
at the prospect
of serving her tea,
I mistook
currant wine
for raspberry cordial,
bright red
and so nice.
