Two 2025 Derecho Nouveau have arrived! A Marquette and a Marechal Foch. Harvested 6 weeks ago from Sampson Valley Vineyard. Dry red wines pair perfectly with holiday meals. Even better than the 2023, and 2024 Nouveaus Cheers! #wine #Nouveau

@WhatCrappens great hearing your Top Chef recaps again. Seems like you have as much fun doing them as we do listening to them! See in Chicago Saturday. Do you think ghost Padma has any dear friends on Summer House?

The 2024 Derecho Nouveau #wine is here.
From grapes picked hours before the autumnal equinox, this Derecho Nouveau is a blend of Marechal Foch and Marquette. 2024 smaller harvest but better quality. Pair with turkey, cranberries, and pie.Stop by our #Madison #WI winery. Cheers!

12-hour animation of 5-minute #GOESEast Infrared images showed Hurricane #Milton as it moved across #Florida overnight, after making landfall at 0030 UTC. Notable METAR site 30-minute Peak Wind gusts >50 knots are plotted in white. GLM-detected #lightning activity was minimal.

#Milton is the fastest Atlantic hurricane to intensify from a Tropical Depression to a Category 5 Hurricane, taking just over 48 hours. This animation shows Milton as it intensified, with the heaviest rains (red) concentrated near the center. https://t.co/uXpdGH1yEd

It’s hot outside but as the #wine grapes ripen we start thinking about our ice wine. This is our rare naturally fermented ice wine, aged 5 years
