Over the last few days I’ve had some Michelin* dining experience. Generally, a mixed bag with 1* wiping the floor with 3*. The 3* pomp and circ theatre is not enough.

Generally, decent wine and disappointing pairing. Basically, only the somms were convinced of their choices.

Spoke to a wine importer. Very cautious about importing wine from the US. Too unpredictable, definitely replaceable.

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Excited to see our chapter, Expressivity and Corpus Linguistics, led by @hankslizzy.bsky.social, with Emily Sharp, @gavinbrookes.bsky.social, & @tonymcenery.bsky.social out in the Oxford Handbook of Expressivity. In it, we show how corpus approaches can be used to study "linguistic" expressivity!

I’m coding focus groups and just heard something I like a lot.

Good wine is a ticket for a good concert.

Last night at a dinner party I poured 3 wines: for 5 euros, for 40 euros and for 200 euros. Only one person guessed all wines right, though the most expensive was identified by another.

One said about the cheapest wine: i really didn’t like it so I thought it was the most expensive one.

I listened to a lecture over the weekend. The speaker commented on people’s low tastes. How can they drink this or this?

Wine conssumption falls (1/3 of EU wine is thrown away/utilised, according to him), we should appreciate every bottle drunk. Telling people they drink wrong is just stupid.

Yet, most tasting notes suggest it’s anything but objectivity.

An eagle visited this morning. Again wintry conditions bring the bird out of the woods.

I observe Britishisation of weather in PL. A smattering of snow is reported as catastrophe, w doomsday warnings. I laughed at 5cm ‚drifts’ in UK, now I laugh at them in PL. Driving on snow is no fun but this is what slowing down and winter tyres are for.
Winter hasn’t started in earnest yet.

This is awine to come back to. It’s very very good. It’s expensive but it’s probably worth the price.

Dariusz Galasiński @dgalasinski.bsky.social · Dec 27

Simply beautiful. One could complain about a thing or two but the bottom line is that it’s a wonderful wine.

Dariusz Galasiński @dgalasinski.bsky.social · Dec 24

Yes. I find it very hard tio make the distinction. And for me it happens only with very good wines.

Dariusz Galasiński @dgalasinski.bsky.social · Dec 24

Thank you. The wine is excellent, I appreciate the high scores. It’s just not for me. But I’m delighted to have tried it. Especially that I got it at a considerably lower price than the average retail price

My first Tondonia gran reserva. A fantastic wine which I didn’t particularly like.

Wine as a category is experiencing myriad existential threats. But wine writing itself is also in a precarious state as publications shutter and work dries up. What can wine writers do to address these very real threats our profession? We can help each other.
