A Wine Quiz Like No Other.
I posted this test back in 2011, with one eye on light humor, and the other on educating a few of my blog followers. Please enjoy it any way you choose. ******************************************************************* (1) You can tell if a wine is “dry”, (a) If nothing comes out when you pour, (b) If no “legs“ appear after swirling the glass, (c) If it doesn’t taste sweet, or (d) If you’re still thirsty after you drink it. COMMENT : If you don’t know it’s (c) , the rest of the quiz may be somewhat of a challenge for you. (2) Wine drinkers love California Chardonnay because (a) It tastes like butter, (b) It tastes like vanilla, (c) It tastes like tropical fruit, or (d) It tastes like . . . well . . . all of the above. COMMENT : Crazy as it seems, it’s “all of the above.” It’s a wildly popular style, but there are indications that many wineries are starting to lighten up on these aspects. (3) "The French Paradox" (a) Is an HBO sequel to

podcast· 29:22333. Montando en bici para salvar vidas: marcha ciclista en homenaje a Juan Manuel García en Sevilla.
La comunidad ciclista de Dos Hermanas y Sevilla se une el próximo domingo 26 de octubre de 2025, a las 9:30 horas, en la Plaza de la Constitución de Dos Hermanas, para rendir homenaje a Juan Manuel García García, vecino fallecido a los 50 años en un accidente de tráfico mientras practicaba su gran pasión: el ciclismo. El acto consistirá en una concentración ciudadana frente al Ayuntamiento, seguida de una marcha ciclista por las calles de la ciudad con una duración aproximada de una hora. El objetivo es doble: recordar con afecto a Juanma y, al mismo tiempo, dar visibilidad a la vulnerabilidad de los ciclistas en carretera, reclamando respeto, seguridad y concienciación por parte de todos los conductores. “Salir a montar en bicicleta debería ser siempre una actividad saludable, una fuente de bienestar físico y social. Sin embargo, compartir la vía pública con otros vehículos conlleva riesgos que desgraciadamente se traducen en tragedias como la que hoy nos reúne”, señalan los organizad

Do better...
I remember when I first got into craft beer, that evangelical feeling of wanting to help spread the word about good beer and help get people off the macro train of boring and bland lagers. We all went through that judgmental phase, looking down on folks drinking mass market beers and feeling better about our bitter IPAs and bold Imperial stouts as almost a testament to better living and character. It was nonsense of course but I still see the trends out there, albeit the pendulum has swung around a little and some beer folks now pride themselves on being better because they drink lagers and bemoan the rise of the hazy ipa as the dominate force in craft beer. Is it because when nobody drank ipas and they did, it made it feel special and now that more people are enjoying ipas, they need to find something more iconoclast to lord over the regular folk? It seems to me there is an inward looking, almost gatekeeping need to separate from the masses, no matter what they like. I used to b
