@GavinQuinney I'd change the date format, so that it's clear which day and month that you're talking about. Very enlightening graphic, by the way...

@Liam3494 @JohnMFodera @Gordo19571 @Vinofilosofia @pietrosd @CHARLIEWINES @campochiarenti Maybe try some Niellucciu wine from Corsica. It's a more rustic, spicier, bolder version of Sangiovese.

@baseballot Just as we were taught in school that it was ‘The Ukraine’.

Another look back at my Vine Route blog before it comes down. This time it's about one of my favorite Corsican vineyards, The Domaine Comte Abbatucci near Ajaccio.

Welsh photographer Claire Thomas, whose photos of horses and Mongolian Eagle Hunters in the New York Times u might have seen, has started a FundMe campaign to help a young girl in northern Iraq. It's worth supporting, folks.

My wine blog, The Vine Route, is suffering from inattention, obsolescent blog software, and repeated hack attempts. Before taking it down, I'm reposting favorite posts from the last decade. Here's the first one, a post about Didier Barral.

GA Gov candidate Kandiss Taylor says she will execute Sheriffs by firing squad if they don’t “do the will of the people. I don’t mind handcuffing them either .. The Constitution says when you commit treason, it’s death by firing squad. I didn’t write it - it’s in there.”

Democrat Senate candidate for Ohio, Tim Ryan, went full-Volodymyr Zelenskyy on CNN the other day, with his olive drab t-shirt.

If you want to see how affection, devotion and dedication to a sport can elevate it to an art form, see this film about Kendama. #teodorefiorina, #graintheoryofficial, #eukendamachamp https://t.co/PzVHePhqsh

Shit ⁦@elonmusk⁩ , I’m happy now that I sold Tesla at $400.

Can someone tell me why they don't bomb the hell out of the road that this Russian military convoy is taking to Kyiv?

[Tom Fiorina @tomfiorina]

I often took flights from Malpensa near Milan when I worked there. Often, thuggish-looking Russian men, accompanied by a gaggle of women dressed in fur coats n' carrying bags marked Prada or some other Italian designer, were onboard. Alitalia flight must look different now.

What is your preferred wine with oysters?

I am thinking Champagne, Muscadet or dry Riesling...
