🎧Is Moscato d’Asti the Sweet Wine Serious Wine People Won’t Admit They Love?
When asked, most people say they like dry wines rather than sweet wines, but is that really true? Based on the most popular wines in the United States, it doesn’t seem like it. At all. One of the most popular wine varietals in the US is Moscato, and the sweet wine Moscato d’Asti is one of the most well known, and well loved wines in the world.

So, why do sweet wines get a bad rap? Some of it is for health reasons, frankly, but some of it is because wine snobs tend to look down their nose at sweet wines, and that’s not really fair. For much of the world’s history, sweet wines were the preferred wines, and based on sales of popular wines today, which we will cover in this episode, it seems quite obvious that they are still preferred by many, many consumers. So, we’ll let you know what we think, and if either of the wines

D.I.Y.
Not long ago, an article caught my eye about the not very good Jurassic World: Dominion. It dug into the film’s budget, a stroke-inducing $531 million. Presumably, it was insanely expensive due to the visual effects, usage of sets, salaries of stars, and lengthy production time.* That film is allegedly the second most expensive movie […] The post D.I.Y. first appeared on About Boulder County Colorado - Visitor and Local Guide to Boulder County Colorado .

Simpsons show-runner bringing mystery dinner to Vector Brewing
Image credit: Bill Oakley. Have a cow, man, or maybe not. After all, the menu for this seven-course mystery dinner must remain a secret. But what can be shared is who’s behind it: Vector Brewing of Dallas and Bill Oakley , former show runner of “The Simpsons.” Yes, those Simpsons. He isn’t creating cartoon pop culture anymore. Instead, Bill has decided he wants to be a food celebrity. So far, so good. His many food-related projects include the creation and curation of an American Culinary Curiosity Dinner, which he’s bringing to Dallas via Vector Brewing. “Bill reached out to us on our website. I couldn’t believe it,” says Veronica Bradley, co-owner of Vector Brewing. “In fact, I didn’t believe it. I had actually just watched a Simpsons documentary with him in it, so I thought friends were pranking me.” According to a press release, the dinner will include seven courses of popular city-specific meals from around the United States. There will be an amuse bouche, two appetizers, a soup, a
