So far surprisingly different from bottled beer and very fresh and zesty!

Recently I revived my experimental sourdough culture from the -80C freezer and started refreshing it every day. The khachapuri made with it tonight looks quite good:) #yeast

Congratulations to @balintnemeth.bsky.social on his talk on thousands and thousands of #Saccharomyces genomes!

We arrived in Szeged for the annual miniconference of the Hungarian Genetics Society! My PhD student @balintnemeth.bsky.social will present about the #Saccharomyces Compendium and I have a poster about integrating #yeast research into BSc lab classes at the University of Debrecen :)

This is going to be a very nice hop harvest:)

Finishing up two manuscripts while brewing a gruit with smoked malts and some fresh hops. Most of the hops I will harvest a few days later :)

Finally, our new -80°C freezer arrived! This is our #yeast lab now, two small rooms for my research group (one half-time and one full-time PhD-student, @balintnemeth.bsky.social, many BSc and MSc-students, and me). Looking forward to start the new semester with them very soon!

A fantastic natural red from Tenerife, Bodegas La Araucaria 2020 Listán negro, a typical local grape variety. I asked and the winery doesn't use yeast cultures and relies on naturally occuring #yeast

Two additional on local fermented drinks: the Canary Islands has centuries-old sugarcane distilleries and local rum and rum-based honey liquor, ronmiel, are popular. And the most commonly found lager, Dorada, is also brewed locally, it is a typical Spanish pale lager.

And the last DO in Tenerife, Ycoden-Daute-Isora. Mostly white wines here and some Listán Negro, often barrel-aged. It was in fact very complicated to buy a bottle from here, they are not found in shops and even rare in small shops of Icod de los Vinos. This one is full-bodied and characteristic.

“…but, i’faith you have drunk too much canaries, and that’s a marvelous searching wine, and it perfumes the blood ere one can say: what’s this?” A thread on Canary wines wouldn't be complete without Malvazía Aromática, once highly sought-after in Britain, liked by Shakespare, Walter Scott or Byron!

And now the famous Orotava Valley DO, wine has been made here since the 15th century. We visited the local Bodega La Araucaria and had a great chat and tasting with the owners. Here, a complex, big red and a funky, low-ABV pét-nat that definetly has #Brettanomyces. Wonderful and unique!

Valle de Güímar is a young and charactersitic DO on Tenerife, the terrain and climate here is wild and maybe the most volcanic, if that means anything on Tenerife:) In shops, only one bottle is found readily, this fruity and fresh, really tropical white with 11 ABV, certainly worth buying!

Back to Tenerife: Abona is a DO in the Southern part of the island, with a large variability in grapes and wines. Like the other islands here, the region escaped from the phylloxera outbreak, a quite unique situation! Wines in Abona are mostly fresh, young, like this Apaga y Vámonos red.

La Gomera is also home to a small artisanal brewery, Layla. Bought two bottles. The one named Lustrales is fantastic, bottle-refermented, fermented with local palm syrup. Clearly Brettanomyces-derived funkyness. Think Orval with caramel notes. Wow.

#wine from La Gomera is very hard to find elsewhere but on the island itself. As the other Canary Islands, except for Tenerife, the whole island is a single DO. The majority of vines here is of the Forastera Gomera variety that differs a lot from Italian forastera...

Tenerife has an old and traditional wine culture with great local grape varieties and wineries also open for current consumer demands. Curiously, only some 4 genomes of #Saccharomyces yeasts have ever been published from Macaronesia, all from Azores. Hopefully we can change that soon in a collab!

Vacation on the beautiful Tenerife with a little #Fungi themed visit to Luis Quijada at the Universidad de La Laguna! It was great to finally meet in-person!
