RIOJA
Rioja located in Northern Spain
an area much characterised by rich
tradition and by vibrant innovations
with its region spanning wide terrain
rich and smooth with textured charm
oak barrelled aged across the years
graciano mazuelo and maturana
temparanillo and graciano
Spain's flagship wine
of great repute
served
with
love
in
crystal
shining - sparkling
underneath nights twinkling stars.

Now you are talking Michael, Roja is my favourite wine and there are some great ones out there, I have tried many but have many still to seek out.
Had a great one this lunch and not expensive.
sounds tempting. lol
I'm always tempted 😃😃
A fine write Michael. Just don't invite me. They'll hate you for it. I will only add water to it! heehee.
Alcoholic water?
Very clever Michael! I didn't see the glass I scrolled for the end of the poem! Thank you for the tour of Rioja!
Thanks Lorna - would love to go back there.
Me poem 'blew up' for today, while trying to upload a clip. Will try again...
C'mon Orchi, you're having us on. You was blotto, and forgot poems, cos you had sherry without water!
Try water - take it neat. Or would it be too strong for you?
What are you, an artist or somethimg?? LOL
Such a lovely idea and carried off to perfection.
Excellent!
I\'m an 'or something'. lol 🙂
Thanks dusk
How's that evening going M? I will settle down with a pork pie and water!
A noble feast - just been reading that pigs are better than cows and sheep - they burp or fart so much. Does that mean I'm bad for the environment?
Gracias Tio Michael : You're in my Territory here and La Territoria Rioja de mi Padre ! I was weaned on Rioja Tinta and have visited the Vineyards with lots of Tastings & Tapas. Rioja y Cava (Spanish Champagne) are two of Spain's finest Wines. Thanks for your excellent endorsement. Being a Christian I do try never to be Drunk (3 large glasses of Rioja Tinta ?) but the Good Book does encourage us to "Take a little wine for your tummy's sake" and most Catholic Church Halls do have a licence and a Bar. For me an evening meal without Una Botella del Vino is NOT a meal ! Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Love the glass shaped ode and the charcoal pencil drawing simple but effective : ANGELA
Thank you Angela - I very much had you in mind when I penned this. My wife is Catholic and I am very much known by her church community. I am a regular visitor to their functions and - yes - they do have a licence I'm very pleased to say.
Michael,
Love the shape poem and its subject matter! When I saw it, the adjective artful came to mind! Artful with your writing, artful with your artwork...intertwining your talents! Exceptional!
