Etymology of the day: 'pea' comes from a mistaken assumption centuries ago. The word came to English as 'pease' (from the French 'pois'), which sounded plural and so we decided a single one must be a 'pea'. We also assumed 'cherise' was plural and so created the single 'cherry'.

If you're feeling a little short on words these days, 'laconic' looks to the Laconians of ancient Greece, known for their pithy speech. When Philip of Macedon thunderously promised that if he entered Laconia he would raze it to the ground, they sent a one-word reply: ‘If’.

Weird accidental combinations that pair incredibly well! 2013 Glen Carlou #naturalsweet Chenin Blanc 🤩 Tropical fruits, particularly pineapple, honeyed notes and just delicious.

Free range egg cooked at a low temperature with truffled potatoes and wild mushrooms was amazing. It was paired beautifully with a A Capitana. #espadeiro #yayodaporta #estherdaporta

A blast from the past: more and more 'tinajas', earthenware amphorae, are coming back -in technically improved form- to many Spanish wineries. To make wine and to age it. https://t.co/m4BdAryBVp
