I've spoken about this corrupt aspect of the WHO for a decade in my SVB on Wine blog and elsewhere. It makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist. But it is a conspiracy and the theories are in public to verify. dailymail.com/yourmoney/arti…

Wine journalist Felicity Carter is trying to conduct a survey of how GLP-1 use affects alcohol consumption. If you are taking GLP-1, please take a look at this survey. (I have nothing to do with it, but I look forward to the results.) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@wblakegray I once asked the same Q in the early 90s. A client told me the good news is vines are dormant. The bad news is my hot tub floated down the river. Bummer! It's OK. The good news is my neighbor's hot tub was better and floated on to my property.

A friend asked me yesterday if flooding will affect grapevines. The answer is, not in winter. The vines are dormant and lots of rain now would be good for them next year.

@awfulannouncing There was no view of the play and the refs didn't decide possession. The fact 49'ers players reacted might be something to mention, but the call was more than fine.

The Rams fumbled the ball, and Al Michaels fumbled the call. 🏈🎙️ #NFL #TNF

@grindcitymedia @DBane0625 @FDSN_Grizzlies Maybe it's blocking because his feet were moving, but it doesn't seem to be the type of play the NBA would support. It's entertaining on one hand, but the type of play someone could get their head slammed into the floor by.

@wblakegray In the 90s, Napa cab wasn't defined. Phyloxera spread through the valley and almost every vineyard was replanted with clones available at the time. That's how Napa cabernet got its definition. People looked for it because it was consistent. This is another angle, but not a threat

Should expensive Napa Valley Cabernets taste different depending on where they're from (i.e., terroir)? Or should a winemaker have a distinctive style that Napa Cab lovers can rely on? One of Napa's foremost wine experts asked these questions. wine-searcher.com/m/2024/03/napa…

I'm getting the sense that the @nytimes is allowing itself to become a neo-prohibitionist disinformation tool.
