Frankly, the winery experience in most European regions is an afterthought, at best. Mostly bad. South Africa has the best winery experiences of anywhere I’ve been.

I see it as seamless. The WA does the heavy lifting, as it is currently doing, with an engaged audience, while Michelin Wine Guide extrapolates the number of stars (bottles) for the less engaged. Michelin does nothing extra except rearranging the data.

The thing that’s missing from the government shutdown is the shutdown of the presidency.

I make a point of checking many Swiss cheeses when I visit the US. Only from top shops, too. They are never the same. Not gross, but lifeless.

I cut out a year ago and came here. This is not yet that at its best, but time will tell.

@dpworldtour.bsky.social Sure looked like Patrick Reed’s drop on 4 bounced outside two club lengths.

Trump claiming the new Nobel Peace Prize recipient called him to say he really deserved it more is a before unseen, deep, deep level of narcissism. Breaking new ground here.

A young me was never into Alsace except maybe a riesling with choucroute. Now it’s chasselas.

This is a fascinating discovery. It seems efforts to preserve or promote biodiversity in an agricultural setting actually do work.

This is insane. This festering pile is only getting worse. I can’t wait until the mid-terms.

I agree. Documentation of shared experience furthers education and appreciation.

Wine changes. Memory fades. Reviews keep the conversation alive. Read why tasting notes are the postal service of taste. #wine #WineSky foodandwineaesthetics.com/2025/10/08/w...

Why Detailed Wine Reviews Matter to the Wine Community

If you want a community, you need a conversation; if you want a conversation, you need a shared record; and if you want a shared record in wine, you need detailed reviews—the kind that actually say…

It’s a failed concept. Most I’ve been to are supremely disorganized with second-rate products. That includes San Jose, Las Vegas, LA, Stockholm, London and Munich. Same level of mediocre everywhere.

It’s a no brainer to me. Imagine, Gallo can take credit for saving the planet. The PR would be invaluable.😉

Artisanswiss @artisanswiss.bsky.social · 8d

Loved the discussion. It’s always been my belief the the best way to introduce hybrids to the world is through mass market wines. Gallo should be on this. Their audience is obviously less critical and flavors can be manipulated to suit them.

Not to mention endless videos on the perfecting the crust, basting in butter, the reverse sear, wagyu up the wazoo. The House of Prime Rib is the toughest reservation to get in SF.

It goes with the BBQ phenomenon, everyone is a grill master, signature dry rubs, serially over salting steaks, endless best steakhouses in the world lists, etc. Steak is everywhere.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good steak but it’s all the youthful influencer class seems to be eating these days. Can we get some variety please. And when there is steak, of course, there is cabernet. Boring!!
