Saturday simple holiday cheer
This is a #nolo I would try being one who likes vermouth / vermut. Perhaps we will see this used in cocktails!
I'm not been really very convinced with #zeroalcohol #wine, but I could see it working with #vermouth. Even though the #alchol is a bit higher it's such a weird flavour and bitter and sweet, that maybe it could work?

This week I spied Santa Claus ... hanging out in a dumpster. I reflected on how something as cynical as identifying with Santa in a Dumpster can be a source of unexpected joy. Bugey-Cerdon, to m...

Can wine change your life? I believe it can, because one bottle did just that for me, on two occasions.

Beaujolais on my mind
Read a blog article from a wine guy I periodically read. He now inserts his view on wine bottles used, which I appreciate as heavy bottles are ridiculous. Ex: Stupidly Heavy Bottle (910g; 32.0oz), Extremely Heavy Bottle (842g; 29.6oz) and bravo to Joseph Drouhin —> Responsible Bottle (568g; 20.0oz)

Wow, what a lovely wine. You don’t necessarily see a lot of Mourvedrè (Mataro) in the US. A treat from regen ag/biodynamic producer Troon… Rogue Valley AVA, southern OR. A bit lighter than what we enjoy in France, with smooth silky tannins, yet the same rustic richness #winesky #troonvineyards

Fall is on, or is it autumn? Either way, a recent warm evening included this rosé and main dish shrimp salad combo #winesky

What a concept. Could happen somewhere without aliens #booksky
Just grabbed Port of Earth by Zack Kaplan and Andrea Mutti. A sci-fi graphic novel where aliens don’t invade, they negotiate, setting up a “port of entry” on Earth that changes everything. Can’t wait to dive in! #booksky #graphicnovels #scifi #books #comics #sciencefiction #reading

Agree w/Andrew. Adding on, craziest thing in wine this week is from Jancis Robinson, MW. Much, not all, Provence rosé is based on a trend, & now: "…Provence, FR vine-growers say they’re paid more by grape concentrate makers designed to sweeten ketchup than by those fermenting grapes into wine."
This is what #rosé should be about. A broad range of styles and colours, not slavishly following some perceived trend.

When I reach for Bordeaux, I prefer something softened by age. Porte Chic’s Pomerol ‘15 hit that sweet spot - big on flavor layers, perky acidity, silky tannins, velvety soft. A wine to cuddle up with on a cool autumn evening with a significant other or a good book! Best part? #Winesky
