Are white pants before Easter still a thing?

Dishwashers: "The craziest are always going to be in the dish pit" | Dis... youtu.be/wmBL5o1XyMA via @YouTube Everyone who works in #restaurants knows that the dishwasher is the lynchpin holding it all together. Thanks @CBC for reminding us.

Are there any other #sommeliers who want to make #wine? nytimes.com/2018/10/04/din…

Ok. O.K. Okay. Here's a @voxdotcom explanation about where OK came from. youtube.com/watch?v=1UnIDL…

What does authenticity in wine mean to you?

Remember video stores? They were good times. If you wanted to watch and old movie, you likely could find them there. Where do you go now when you want to watch a movie that is not on @Netflix_CA or available on iTunes?

According to @grapegrowersont just over 33 million litres of #wine was imported into #Ontario for blending in 2016. Where is this wine going? Why are there not more systems in place to help small growers instead of bringing in bulk? grapegrowersofontario.com/sites/default/…

“wine culture has partly brought this on itself with its history of pretension, its equating of wine with connoisseurship, and the absurd vocabulary and rituals that many people assume must be mastered simply to enjoy wine” 👏 @EricAsimov nytimes.com/2018/07/16/din…

Real question: do you enjoy long form wine content? (Long blog posts, emails, articles, etc.)

@TheBlackHoof Sometimes I think its cool. But mostly... jaywhiteley.com/working-restau…

Did you ever think maybe the restaurant business just isn’t actually that cool?

I’m only drinking vinho verde this St. Patrick’s day?

I find it difficult to believe that woodchucks don’t chuck wood.

@meow_camuzet I wasn’t sure at first, but I think I like it.

And so she says to the table, after presenting and opening the wine, “who is gonna take the nose?”

It’s 16 degrees Celsius in downtown toronto right now. Hard to believe it’s going to snow tomorrow.

It is truly amazing that in this day and age, all wineries, especially the big ones, don’t have PDF notes for each wine.

And so he says to me, “I can’t Pinot Noir, it makes me deaf. And as we are going to a concert tonight, I’ll just have some Chianti.”
