@FredZinkieMLB g’day Fred. How many more games does Bryson Stott need to add SS eligibility? Seems he’s been deployed there since TT hit the IL. Surely can’t be far away?

@VineyardPaul @jamiegoode Higher concentrations of these compounds (flavanols) in the skins than in the juice and pulp, so inherently whites wines would have lower concentrations than reds. But I couldn’t tell ya about barrel ageing as a source. Seems unlikely though.

Come down to the winery next weekend. Taste all the new releases and some oldies as well.

Wine and food matching is overrated. Pour a glass of this Home Block Minchella Shiraz and have it with a packet of Freckles by your side. Job done. Oh, and this is a great wine too! It's very impressive. https://t.co/LTCwF4fjpV @drwespearson

From the hands of the AWRI guru Dr Wes Pearson comes this Juxtaposed Grenache. A blend of fruit from the famed Smart and Wait vineyards (Clarendon and Blewitt Springs respectively), this 2021 is a muscular rendition. https://t.co/Qr5MvOUQbw

@VineyardPaul @Qwine Tended to by Bernard and his son Wayne Smart. Clarendon district. 5 blocks, the oldest planted 1921. Bush vines on sand. Beautiful vineyard.

Research outcomes in practice: adding air to one of my Grenache ferments to promote healthy yeast propagation and help eliminate reductive aromas. Just like I talked about in this @The_AWRI video https://t.co/szvrD9O7JY

@hixson_josh Ok you get the court ready.

@jamiegoode Very Canadian. But still 🤑

@lukefoxjukebox your column was a strange place to find hip hop recommendations but clearly you know your stuff. Didn’t know JID and he’s tight! 👊

[Wes Pearson @drwespearson]

Interest is growing, but lots of work to do still.

@FriedgeHNIC impressed with your article calling out the NHLPA Beach report. Hockey needs accountability and voices like yours can make a difference. Thank you.

Fair to say that never before on March 20th, have I not had any red grapes fermenting. Strange vintage. #v22

A little piece I whipped up on how my research on terroir ties in with my winemaking. https://t.co/uQvtn1UqLo

Flattered.

@whiteswine It’s no Jensen Interceptor.

@ozwinereview We’ll just have to add O2 now instead. https://t.co/xRgfnyBIaf @The_AWRI

@jamiegoode @ConsBrunello Because of the scope of their distribution these kinds of companies often provide an introduction to a region for keen but green wine drinkers, as was the case with me and the @BanfiWines wines. Tasty and reliable wines imho.
