Celebrating Regional Wine Week from Abroad in 47 Words

Celebrating Regional Wine Week from the East Side of the Pond

Today marks the beginning of the fourth annual Regional Wine Week hosted by Drink Local Wine – a group founded by Washington Post wine guy, Dave McIntyre, and wine writer Jeff Siegel as a way of brining more attention to the wine of the ‘other‘ states outside California, Washington, and Oregon.

The folks at Drink Local Wine recently issued a call to local wine supporters to share their thoughts about ‘the other 47′ (states other than California, Washington, and Oregon) in 47 words.

There are a number of very creative folks in the local wine blogosphere so I look forward to reading all of the 47-word entries.  On day 1, there are already several excellent 47 word entries so far:

• GEG at Swirl, Sip, Snark
• Rick and Nancy at Virginia Wine In My Pocket
• DLW co-founders Jeff Siegel (here) and Dave McIntyre (here) also get in on the 47 word action
• Lorie from Wining Ways

My attempt at an ode to support my Virginia Wine habit below:

Regional Wine Week is finally here,
In Brussels, so instead I sip on a beer,

No Virginia wine to be had,
So far from home, which is sad,

Alas, another flight to catch,
A paycheck to fetch,

A serious passion to support,
All local wine but… Snort

Ok, this exhausts the limits of my creativity.  I’ll leave the artistic prose to the other.   Cheers all!
