The best wine writing should tell a good story—but also make you thirsty.

How will this affect the California wine industry?

Hope all wineries that had banking relationships with SVB are okay.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

And that's that. Wow.

I am leading two one-week wine tours in Tuscany this spring. A few spots are still available. It would be great to see you there! https://t.co/mr8dqt3EGH

Good Morning Everyone! Is inflation cancelled? Container shipping costs are back to pre-pandemic levels.

Sad news. Here’s our obit on Julie Powell, who changed food writing forever. https://t.co/59IgPtKLzy

The most expensive 2019 wine I have seen--maybe buy a few others and go for the case discount? https://t.co/8xaAXW1Vj0

OMG Fridays

[Dr Vino @drvino]

They are going to have to rebrand TGI Fridays at this rate

[Bespoke @bespokeinvest]

Not again...Tracking for yet another 1% down Friday for $SPY, would be the fifth in a row. #unrelenting

10/14: -1.44%
10/7: -2.79%
9/30: -1.55%
9/23: -1.68%
9/16: -1.17%

@IkaVinaWines Yikes. Sad.

[Dr Vino @drvino]

If you were flying JFK - AUK, would you do the new NZ1/2 direct flight? 17+ hrs in the same aluminum tube seems like deep vein thrombosis waiting to happen. But then again, changing planes is a pain...

[Dr Vino @drvino]

@nickjacksn Hmm, yeah. Blocked seats in coach might mean more ability to stretch out! Crazy to think offloading some luggage would make a difference.

[Dr Vino @drvino]

@Blackwaterwine Yeah, no really great options when traveling this route...just avoiding LAX is a win. LOL

[Dr Vino @drvino]

@pedroparrachile Rioja... 99 points... $350 wine

[Dr Vino @drvino]

Guess how many points? "Crushed blackberries and blueberries with some flowers, such as violets & lavender. Bark, too. Medium-to full-bodied with layers of ripe, refined tannins w/ a cool undertone. Plenty of subtle blackberry & wet-earth undertones. From organically grown grapes

[Dr Vino @drvino]

@_SeanDriscoll_ Close... 99... $350 wine... Mmm, bark... crushed blackberries with subtle blackberries.

@bespokeinvest They’ll need to rebrand TGI Friday’s at this rate.

“Drought has ravaged dozens of crops throughout Europe — corn in Romania, rice in Italy, beans in Belgium, and beets and garlic in France. Among the hardest hit is the olive crop of Spain, which produces one half of the world’s olive oil.” https://t.co/VwAiyBrpDg

@robin_mcgrath They sold out to another company. New UI rolled out yesterday and, let’s just say, there’s not as much useful info as there used to be.

RIP SevenFifty 😢 It was a good run
