    A fine write B&A. I must have some Rioja. It's the only time I can say 'Philo-wotsit' (so I'm not on it at the mo, as I can't say the word. lol).

  • orchidee

    Eh> My google does not know 'philoinic'? Summat about Philo and philosophical stuff cropped up. Led me up a garden path!

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! It was a \'spello\' should have been PHILOENIC ~ A lover of Wine ! We had a PHILOENIC SOCIETY at University ~ Lovely word as befits a great Society
      Yours as always B & A 🧡🧡🧡🧡

      I am not a real wine drinker, and I certainly did not know Spain was famous for their wine.
      This is a very informative piece.
      Persistence is key

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Well DION Spain ~ Portugal France & Italy etc. are very important Wine Producing Regions in Europe & inded the World. The CLIMATE & SOIL is ideal for a wide variety of GRAPES. English Wines are improving due to Global Warming. Every Cloud has a Silver Lining ! Thanks for your comment ~ BRIAN !

          Thanks FINE : Pleased you enjoyed it. We like WHITE also (RED with meat normally) We like WHITE with Pasta & Salad and for chilling ! New Zealand has some exceptional WHITES ! To each His & Her own ! If we host a Dinner Party we advise but never coerce !
          Blessings & Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡

          Most helpful and shall buy a bottle of fruity-red Rioja after this posting.

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            Thanks FAY : Pleased you enjoyed it. My DAD will be pleased (Pedro de La Luz) he is a Spanish Wine Importer based near London which explains why I was raised in the UK ! Fruity-red Rioja is excellent with Red Meat but it Also complements strong cheeses ! Enjoy your Bottle.
            Blessings & Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
