Raising a glass to Golden Tempo and that UNBELIEVABLE comeback! 🐎 2012 Mascarello (Giuseppe e Figlio) Vigna Santo Stefano di Perno. Beautiful, elegant wine just coming into own with nicely integrated tannins. Rose petals, dark cherry, with fine herbs and a hint of balsamic. Barolo on point!

Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, W126. 295 hp. From a 5.6L naturally aspirated V8, its a bulletproof V8 too, like any older Mercedes V8, this is the M117. Heavy doors, thick materials and reclining backseats. 0–100 km/h in around 7 seconds is not terrible when you think about it. They're overengineered for durability and don't come with excess, built to last decades. Compared to modern S-Class models, this feels solid in a different way.

A naughty but nice story to start your Sunday morning. #Nonsense

The Day One Man Shut Down a London Street With Letters. On November 27, 1810, a 22-year-old writer named Theodore Hook made a bet with a friend: he could turn any house in London into the most talked-about address in the city. He chose 54 Berners Street, home to a well-off widow named Mrs. Tottenham, seemingly at random. Then he spent six weeks writing somewhere between one thousand and four thousand letters. Every letter invited a different tradesperson or dignitary to visit Mrs. Tottenham's house on the same day. At 5 a.m., chimney sweeps began knocking on her door. Then came dozens of coal wagons. Then a parade of bakers carrying elaborate wedding cakes. Then bootmakers, dentists, miniature painters, undertakers, auctioneers, doctors, grocers, all insisting they'd been summoned. Deliveries of pianos, organs, and carts of beer clogged the street. By afternoon, the chaos had escalated. The Governor of the Bank of England showed up. So did the chairman of the East India Company, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Lord Mayor of London, each believing they'd received an urgent personal invitation. Police had to block both ends of Berners Street, but people kept arriving, including a wave of domestic servants at 5 p.m., all there for a job interview that didn't exist. Hook watched the entire thing unfold from a rented room across the street. Police offered a reward for the prankster's identity, but Hook was never caught. He never even admitted to it, the truth only emerged long after his death. Two hundred years before the internet, one man essentially DDoS'd a street using nothing but stamps and audacity.

Been several weeks since I received the Sassicaia 2023’s. Going to decant this for 90 mins before we leave for dinner. Sacrificing a bottle at this early stage to see if I should purchase even more than I already did, given this had the same 💯 rating the 2021 has, I have high hopes. At this stage, aroma and color are fantastic.
