    I bought a case of the 2014 Clos Frantin Vosne-Romanée Malconsorts some years ago and a case of the 2020 more recently. The wholesale price had doubled in six years. #wine #Burgundy #prices

    In a nod to the meal we’ll have later today, I’m doing something that I never do: read up on white #wine. Specifically, Assyrtiko from Greece.

    "180,000 years ago"? I think someone lost count of their zeros.

    @stevenray
    Santorini blew up in the 17th century BCE, so about 3600 years ago. Szabo has a whole chapter on Santorini in Volcanic Wines.

    If you visit Zind-Humbrecht and taste the Roche Calcaire next to the Roche Granitique, you might be told the acidity of first is felt up the sides of the mouth towards the roof, while the acidity of the second is linear and seems to project straight out the front of your mouth. The difference is ascribed to the soils.

    Easy. Mouton 1970. Marc Chagall did the label.

    So, lots of reports of abuse and bias on Mastodon today stemming from the Middle East conflict. Perhaps this heightened level of hostility derives from the fact this platform skews left, but these issues divide the left. It's kind of new for us. Whatever the cause, hate speech, antisemitism, islamophobia, racism and personal attacks are never called for and will probably get you blocked or banned. Let's commit to zero tolerance for this garbage. We're better than this. Be kind to each other.

    I love "rascism". Stealing.

    Terrific value and terrific stuff. Could fix the many miss-spellings though: Matthiasson, Farconnet, Tempier.
    I carried the Clarine Farms Mourvèdre some years ago: it was 11.5% abv! Love Brick House.

    @dnc I think I was allocated 3 bottles.

    TheEuropeanNetwork, to France

    Climate change may be improving the quality of Bordeaux wines.

    Wines from the Bordeaux region of France tend to be better when the grapes are grown in years with wet winters and hot, dry summers.

    Climate change is making these weather patterns more common, which may partly explain why Bordeaux wines have been improving over the past 70 years.

    "It may also lower soil salinity, so that less salt ends up in the grapes, he says."
    Salt in the grapes? This is news to me. As in sodium?

    Cabernet Franc from Villány is brilliant, but this blend includes...none?

    @dnc Ogier Côte-Rôtie should generally be good for 17-20 years. Here's a pic of Côte-Rôtie vineyards I took from the Ogier winery.
