Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

Wine Country Usa, September I

                   WINE COUNTRY

September first, but not where I live!
This week, 111 degrees, outside, you drip like a sieve!

But grapes, don’t grow in freezing snow!
In wine country, we supply the USA with grapes  needed for Vino….
don’t you know?

Four-thousand tons of grapes crushed here each year.
In a peaceful, multi- cultural, city, room for all, here!

A family city, devoted to God, filled with churches.
Non-violent, low crime, nobody gets besmirches.

I only find hateful comments on-line….
Glad those folk are not neighbors of mine!

I thank God for living in a city of peace and sanity.
A gift from Him, dusted with all colors of humanity!

But my town had as . YaaaaMediterranean climate.. it won’t cool down till October. No snow here…Hurrah. Comfortable year round. Thank you, dear, Eve! Pangie xx

Timothy Ray September 4, 2022 at 12:25 PM let my front license plate confirm the common admiration we share...."life is a Miracle, deserving an attitude of gratitude"....and what makes you such a joy to read Panagiota Romios September 4, 2022 at 1:36 PM Tim, I agree with you! But some days are more difficult than others..))) but I am quick to forget. There is always a new challenge to face, another soul to heal…stiii..love your license plate Thank you dear soul. Pangie xx

Mystic Rose Rose September 3, 2022 at 8:07 PM We need to count all of our blessings, I enjoyed your poem this evening , thankyou Panagiota Romios September 3, 2022 at 9:30 PM Wherever we live….whatever our situation….gratitude heals the soul. Grouchiness, jealousy, gets us nowhere. Thank you for reading me, Pangie

Michael Tor September 3, 2022 at 3:38 PM Pangie love this writing on wine and the area you live in. I got a chance to go to Northern California and the scenery was gorgeous and the ground produced such fine wines. The Napa Valley I am referring to. I stayed near Chico in a town named Orland. I was gorgeous there and I absolutely loved California. I am sorry to hear of all the regulations and taxes there. A favorite to read. Pangie I recommend a book to read, I think you would love it. The Columbia Restaurant Spanish Cookbook. Michael Tor September 5, 2022 at 1:52 AM Thank you for your kind comments Pangie... Panagiota Romios September 3, 2022 at 9:26 PM Note 2. I just saw your second note that goes into detail, about the book.it would make a great gift for my daughter and her family.my grandson is studying Spanish in a private high school.they may go to Spain next year. He might like the book as well.. you are wonderfully humane, kind and thoughtful. No lightheaded comments from you. I appreciate that kind. I will never understand the rush to dash off one liners, just to have people read us. Pangie xx Panagiota Romios September 3, 2022 at 9:13 PM I appreciate your recommendation, Michael. How sweet. Since I broke my thigh and knee bones in December, I cannot stand and cook anymore! Nor carry pots and pans. I had to readjust how to nourish myself.Quite a challenge! California, Michael was once a home to free expression of any ideas. No more! If you like Socialism, mandates and a cracked governor move here.))) it’s beauty overun by fascists that ruin the state. All Newsom needs is Hitler’s mustache. No kidding! Napa is lovely, no doubt, Pangie xx Michael Tor September 3, 2022 at 3:50 PM It is about the history of this unique and popular restaurant and all the famous people that attended and their personal stories shared by the owners and their staff. They give incredible recipes in the book and they have a chapter on the great wines and tell the story of how they chose their wine and from what area of Spain. Incredible reading Pangie and humorous too. I think you would enjoy reading...

Robert Lindley September 3, 2022 at 2:25 PM I never was a wine drinker. I know it is a healthy drink. I was once very long ago a whiskey drinker. But that stopped about 42 years ago. Love this creation by you mt dear friend. Shows your advance in composing these years. A fav.. God bless.. Panagiota Romios September 3, 2022 at 4:48 PM Robert. I don’t drink alcohol at all. Alcohol s a drug, It ruins lives and takes lives. I was mostly emphasizing my citiy’s beauty. Robert, I appreciate your maturity balance and support. I don’t recall if you read Sappho and Venus. That s a good one, Merci! For the FavXxx Pa
