Even though I write about food on somewhat regular occasion, I'm recently encountering the phrase "semi-fine dining." Is the food mid? Do they get mixed reviews? Is it like when someone says, "I'm fine" in a tone that indicates they are anything but? #foodwriter #Foodsky
After doing a video on making May wine (Maiwein) a few years ago and hunting for sweet woodruff to do it, I took a cutting from a neighbor and planted my own. Its finally taken off so I'll have a liter of Sylvaner or Silvaner at the ready in time to make the #wine and the video again. #Winesky
Had local cranberries in the freezer, so decided to make cranberry sauce.
Made cranberry sauce, so decided to roast a turkey.

1995 was not a notable vintage year in most of the world, but it was remarkable in my region. One of the finest blends ever was produced on this day: vibrant, earthy, layered and nuanced, spicy and with some salinity, too, and improving with age. Happy Birthday to my daughter! #Winesky #Parentingsky
I like different wines and different wine types with a turkey dinner. There's a handful of go-to's for me depending on the mood, season, side dishes. Sangiovese is one of them. Yours? #wine #winepairing #Winesky #Cookingsky #Foodsky
There's no debate the President is a selfish scumbag. Its documented for decades, now daily. No receipts needed. Today's post after Mueller's death is no surprise. I'm looking to see who celebrates and reposts it. Those are the receipts needed for when the pendulum swings back.
Last night, at Lei Wine Bar in New York, a somm comes over with a glass of #wine and says, "This is from someone at another table. They want you to blind this."
I was amused at the assumption that I knew what he meant. Also amused that someone I knew was in the house too and did that.

It is #WorldWaterDay. A reminder that more people have access to a cellphone than a toilet, and 1 in 6 humans do not have access to enough potable water. (One reason our President wants Greenland.)
