An Ode to The Spaniard and A Good *%#&@! (New Twisted Oak Wines at WineQ!)

September 28th, 2007 · Categories: Humor, New Wines
In 1492, El Jefe sailed the ocean blue
But it took 6 years to find worlds new
So what’s a restless explorer to do?
Why, quaff down a bottle of wine or two!

But, of course, not just any vino will do,
not just the Tempranillo imbibed by his crew
He wanted flavors of Garnacha, and Graciano, too
For this spaniard, only The Spaniard rang true

Currants and cloves, a berry that’s blue
Cherry, leather and oak in this brew
Tannins that are the size of Peru
for $44.99, you can try it too!

After this bottle, he’s definitely not through
Because, to tango, it usually takes two
And though this may be somewhat taboo
He was in the mood for a good *%#&@!, too

No, dirty reader, I don’t mean a screw
A delightful red blend, I thought that you knew
Grenache and Mourvedre being the first two
A splash of Syrah, and then it is through

A meaty leathery flavor that’s fit to chew
with boysenberry and raspberry imbued
Provençal herbs remind you of stew
And at $27.99, it’s quite the value

No, brilliant reader, not a word of this is true
Except these two tasty wines that are new
So resist no more, you know you want to
Add these two great blends to your Q!

Pretty good, Marshall, but next time you need some poetry….well, let’s just say it’s all in the name.
