RIOJA

Michael Edwards

 

 

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.

        C'mon Orchi, you're having us on. You was blotto, and forgot poems, cos you had sherry without water!

        • Michael Edwards

          Try water - take it neat. Or would it be too strong for you?

            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

              • Michael Edwards

                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!
