Stoller Family Estate Dundee Hills Pinot Noir - v. 2023
Bright acidity, ripe raspberry and black cherry, subtle vanilla, very smoky, touches of forest floor and herbal notes. Fun trying both chardonnay and pinot noir from Dundee Hills these past couple weeks.
ok here’s a new thread of different wines i try. going to start looking for a good curated shop in my area soon but until then it’s just stuff i find on my street or order online so probably a lot of basic picks, just practicing making tasting notes and training my palate :)
Domaine Drouhin “Arthur” Chardonnay - v. 2022 🇺🇸
This is absolutely lovely. Apple, lemon, pear, peach, white blossoms, honey, maybe ripe cantaloupe? Creamy mouthfeel but with crisp acidity/minerality. Balanced partial oak as well, lovely subtle butter and almond notes. So good.
if i couldn’t make it to a concert i’d much rather just go listen to the original songs than my friend’s shitty iphone recording with worse sound quality where i can’t even hear the songs over people yelling and talking nearby. that’s just not what live music is about
@pueringeniosus people who can’t afford concert tickets often rely on friends facetiming them or taking videos. music is about community and that shouldn’t exclude people who cannot afford a ticket.
@nofear_queer imo artists are entitled to do whatever they want with their own shows lol. people are allowed to not like it but live performances are an extension of the art not merely a showcase of it. i don’t think any artist owes it to people to make compromises to their art
the people who are mad about the no phones policy realize they can just not go to the show, right? you’re not entitled to having your phone at a concert like this you can just stay home
Phoebe Bridgers has announced The Lost Tour with support from Alex G and Isaac Wood!
Each show will be phone-free, using Yondr pouches that will be unlocked when leaving the venue.
@Alejandro101524 yeah i’m more than willing to hear out those concerns but as with many of these kinds of conversations on here 99% of the people upset either aren’t thinking about that or are invoking that concern disingenuously
boyfriend said he’d only be willing to watch euphoria if someone made a supercut of only the scenes with hunter schafer, then clarified “this isn’t a chaser thing because she’s the prettiest woman in the show” #whatdatmean
Martin Scorsese is backing an AI startup called Black Forest Labs, which he says he intends to use for storyboard purposes:
“Remember, cinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve."
when i was 19 or 20 and still living at home my mom came into my room and asked me if i was bi and i was like “yeah” and she was like “oh ok.” years later she called me and asked if i was on hrt and i was like “yeah” and she was like “oh ok.”
if i posted cute candids of myself actively listening and engaging with a friend only for a ton of people to start writing deranged fanfiction about it in my replies i’d have to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital
i miss that brief period of time when bands would at least pretend to care that one of their bandmates got outed as a sexual predator and just kick them out and support the victim, now it’s just like “our buddy is going to take a little break, shout out our promoters”
happy pride month to my boyfriend <3 he’s not gay or anything but he does help me put estradiol patches on my ass and i think that counts for something
