From the #Undark archives | "In Caves and Monasteries, Clues to Wine’s Startling History" by @kbegos. You’d think #wine technology, like technology in general, would advance in a fairly straight line. Quite the opposite, an Israeli historian has found. https://t.co/IpZopJOncy

"Israel is a country in the Middle East. It is part of the heritage of this region. The Jewish people has a place amongst us. We should talk", Bahraini Foreign Minister @khalidalkhalifa tells me in an interview in Manama

The most important problem of our times: Can environmentalism do the about face to switch from stopping the bulldozers to unleashing the bulldozers? @TedNordhaus https://t.co/9813TRmBoz

“Sunscreen is a multibillion-dollar industry, and its efficacy in the prevention of skin cancer is often taken as fact. Despite this, there are only four prospective studies that examine sunscreen’s role in preventing skin cancer..."

@adeelnyt Hi Adeel. There's a factual error in your story. I wrote the lead piece for the Winston-Salem Journal in 2002 that inspired the NC reparations movement. PM or email me, thanks.

Thanks for giving me the space to tell my view on last week’s complicated kerfuffle

[Kevin Begos @kbegos]

@pal8g2015 Yeah, kinda fluff science.

[Kevin Begos @kbegos]

@pal8g2015 Thank you Paul, though that might be a bit excessive!

[Kevin Begos @kbegos]

pbk. of "Tasting" now out, with a new cover...

"Ron Washam should admit that he was wrong with his sexualized attack on Alice Feiring. And Tim Atkin should admit that he was wrong to publish it and let it hang on his site under the banner of his name and Master of Wine credentials." https://t.co/Puky1iZ9XT

Just loved writing this piece on Chilean natural wines for @AFARmedia https://t.co/FPWjUiwlsE

@artisanswiss @FelicityCarter The newsletters were collected in book form, too. "Inspiring Thirst" is the title.

[Kevin Begos @kbegos]

@FelicityCarter I'll play Devil's Advocate: if Kermit Lynch had never written "Adventures" yet still become an importer and opened a great wine store, we would miss a great wine writer. But Kermit would still have exposed many people to great wine. Yet the book inspired multitudes, too.

Many women journalists asked to be credentialed but were not allowed. One, Martha Gellhorn, snuck onboard a landing craft and hid in bathroom. When they hit the beach she helped carry a stretcher while under fire, observing the battle. No one noticed a woman was on the beach.
