A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Ides of March musings: maybe if #wine, as #Shakespeare referred to elsewhere (in Othello, I believe) as a "good familiar creature if it be used well", was included, Caesar's fate could have been different. #IdesofMarch #winemakesfriends #Winesky

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Interesting. Finlandia’s “specialty cheeses” all have a wine and beer pairing recommendation on the front. Do people actually pair Finlandia’s Gouda with Merlot?
In addition, neither Gouda, nor Gruyere, Parmesan or Cheddar are Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) names in the U.S.

Really interesting & hopeful story of a CA’s vineyard’s efforts to revive Cinsault vines that could prove key to facing climate change’s impact.

Here in Chile we are experiencing a re-valorization of the grape, esp from dry farmed Itata & Maule vineyards. If you find a Chilean Cinsault, do try it!
