“Some perfumes are made to evoke emotions or places such as a meadow after a rain shower or even a circus” In the Ants and the Butterfly Chiara Brozzo argues that perfumes can be works of art. Do you agree? #thephilosophygarden #philosophyforeveryone youtu.be/d1B6RWajQWs #philsky #edusky

Main Grape Varieties in Alsace, 1968-2022. Riesling's amazing surge from #3 to the undisputed #1. And Sylvaner's abysmal decline from #1 to #7.

It took me years since starting to drink wine when I drank a 50 quid one. But I do remember a round birthday when I drank a 100 pound Chablis, it was a major expense. I still knew nothing about Chablis.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
And I reserve the right only to like it and know nothing about it. The idea that I need to know anything about the wine to enjoy it is nonsense imo.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
My Chablis example comes from me on a very tight budget. I drank bc I knew the kind of wine I was getting. Variety didn’t come into this.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
We agree actually. The podcaster was clear that it’s the variety. Imo it’s nonsense. This doesn’t mean you know nothing about the wine. Chablis and Rioja examples in point.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
Why? For years I drank Chablis having no idea at all it’s chardonnay. How does the knowledge that yoyr Rioja includes a bit of graciano improve the taste of wine?

Just heard on a wine podcast.
‘If you drink a 50-pound wine you ought to know what variety it is made from.’

What utter and irritating tosh.

Vaccinated for Covid again. As ever my wife suffers no side effects, i spent the morning wrapped up with cold chills. Flu vax taken in my stride, barely noticed.

The timeline for the projects discussed in this book roughly maps onto my time with @corpussocialsci.bsky.social and will stand proudly on my bookshelf.

Was fun to write, too.

Bravo Moldova that successfully resisted Russia’s efforts to buy and bully its way to swinging the election in favour of the Pro- Russia (not) Patriotic Party.

Sandhu’s Pro EU Action and Solidarity Party won more than double the Patriotic Party’s votes.

Has Russia lost Moldova?
Why the bitterly contested election in a "faraway country, between people of whom we know nothing", matters a lot

I thought it was a very good wine. Somewhat soulles though. But yes Bdx experts would agree. Thankfully we/ I don’t have to worry about it. :)
dgalasinski.bsky.social
I agree with it. And my points are not abt rejecting old wines. It’s more against prioritisng them or considering them somehow superior. I am not certain they are.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
Indeed. Was it because of age? I don’t know.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
I accept the argument in principle. I have tasted very old port and I prefer it to the young one. But does it mean young port shouldn’t be drunk and enjoyed? Imo no.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
Not certain abt elitism. I generally prefer not to discuss tastes esp. in terms of what must or shouldn’t be done. Let’s just enjoy wine.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
And? Of course I also drink older wines and sometimes I enjoy them.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
So many times I’ve been told I shouldn’t like a wine because I drank it too early. I find such statements bizarre. I generally reject yardsticking wine according to ceitics’ great palates. Let’s just enjoy wine we enjoy.
dgalasinski.bsky.social
But peakness is in the eye of the beholder innit? Or on the palate of the taster :)
