As the first sip is poured, the cork is there just to confirm that the branding matches the label. It is also a way to see how much a winemaker invests in their closures. Indeed, cork is something natural, enviromental friendly materials and can be easily recycled.
But, what do they say about wine? The wine is where all the joy is, not the cork.
Have a fantastic Saturday!

Ah! after a hiking day and a long Hindu Ritual of Celebration and Propritiation... a glass of chilled White Wine with this view of Senggigi Bay looking West. I sat in the sandy shade of a magnificent Sea Hibiscus, Hibiscus tilliaceus.
PS Soon I expect to be commenting again. Please forgive me my lassitude...
Get to know and appreciate the typical Moselle way of life, which has developed in this cultural landscape over the course of a long wine-growing tradition. And Piesport has been synonymous with wine culture for over 2,000 years. Numerous festivals are on the programme, which are largely organised by local cultural associations. But Piesport is not only worth a visit for the festivals. The testimonies of the Roman past are particularly worth seeing, such as the Roman sarcophagi, the Roman milestone or the faithfully restored Roman wine press from the 4th century. Piesport is one of the largest wine-growing communities on the Moselle. Wine lovers appreciate wines from the vineyards such as the "Piesporter Goldtröpfchen", which you can enjoy in cosy wine taverns and wine bars. Families and leisure An active holiday in Piesport? The choice is yours! Take a boat trip on the Moselle, past steep, towering vineyards and the rock massif of the Moselloreley or enjoy an exciting canoe trip on the river. The Moselle cycle path is ideal for cyclists. It runs along the numerous meanders of the Moselle and offers a varied atmosphere. And you can hike on the stages of the Moselsteig and take wonderful circular walks. Roman heritage on the Moselle Another highlight in Piesport is the Roman wine press from the 3rd century
Während des Lockdowns tröstete Pedro sich mit dem Gedanken an bessere Tage, flic.kr/p/2iK1UDv. Jetzt sind sie gekommen und der Bär begleitet den Sekretär auf einen Wochenendausflug nach Deidesheim in der Pfalz.

During the lockdown Pedro comforted himself with the thought of better days, flic.kr/p/2iK1UDv. Now they have come and the bear is accompanying the secretary on a weekend trip to Deidesheim in the Palatinate.
View from the "Bastei", a traditional lookout point on the Rotenfels with a view of Bad Münster and Ebernburg.
The white wines from there can only be recommended as well als the Hermannshöhle Vinotheque and Restaurant in Niederhausen are always worth a visit.
"I feel your arms around me
As the power of your healing begins
You breathe new life right through me
Like a mighty rushing wind..."
A dedication to someone special!

It’s so hot out right now, I spotted a photo I took on Saturday while having lunch at P.J. Clark’s at Brookfield Place, downtown. Thought people in this current heat might enjoy imagining how good a chilled Riesling tastes!
This was taken at our Christmas celebration.
It is still NOT a toast to the New Year. :)
I will try to picture another toast for that occasion.
Anyway, if I should not see you, know that all my best wishes are with you.
Stay safe!!!

Sometimes I think that we put too much emphasis on human relationships. There’s a whole world out there to connect with! We’ve gone to the nature reserve multiple times in the past few weeks to feed the chickadees. On Friday, I had one after another land in my hand (sometimes two at a time!). It’s such a magical thing to do. You can hardly detect their weight, because they are so light. If your eyes are closed, it’s the whoosh of their wings and the feeling of their tiny claws on your skin that lets you know they are there.
Anyway, I’ve been thinking about connection and how essential it is for humans. This year we have to be a little more creative perhaps in finding ways to connect, but opportunities are always there.
Wishing you many peaceful/happy moments over the holidays and in the new year! ~
P.S. This is my new favourite Ontario white wine. Cheers! :)

Esta cueva subterránea, cuyos tramos más antiguos se horadaron en piedra en el siglo el siglo XVI, es considerada como una de las catedrales del vino. Situada en Sotillo de la Ribera, Burgos, es la piedra angular de las Bodegas Ismael Arroyo cuya marca mas celebrada, Valsotillo, cría sus caldos en este histórico lugar.
Alrededor de 1200 metros cuadrados de galerías subterráneas, con paredes secas sin filtraciones de humedad, hacen de ella una bodega única en el mundo del vino, dotada de unas características especiales para la maduración y conservación del mismo.
En 1992 se realizó una ampliación para completar el parque de barricas y botelleros que incrementaron su belleza y que la conectaron con los edificios posteriores dedicados a las primeras fases de la elaboración del vino. Su visita es una delicia para los que llegan hasta aquí, ya que se encuentran ante unas instalaciones en las que se lleva criando el zumo de las uvas desde hace 400 años.
Los vinos de Ismael Arroyo, fundador de la marca ValSotillo así como de la denominación de origen Ribera del Duero en el último cuarto del siglo pasado, son envejecidos en esta histórica bodega en unas excelentes condiciones, de manera natural, a una temperatura constante de 11-12ºC. durante todo el año, junto a la ausencia de vibraciones, ruidos y luz, que permiten a sus caldos alcanzar una excelente crianza.
El proceso de crianza se realiza en barricas de roble americano y francés de 225 litros de capacidad y el resto del tiempo reposa en botella hasta su salida al mercado.
Estos caldos, elaborados ahora por los hijos y nietos de su fundador que continúan una larga tradición familiar, muestran una extraordinaria constitución, amplio bouquet y textura, que sólo puede alcanzarse en estas instalaciones singulares.
This underground cave, whose oldest sections were carved into stone in the 16th century, is considered one of the cathedrals of wine. Located in Sotillo de la Ribera, Burgos, it is the cornerstone of Bodegas Ismael Arroyo whose most celebrated brand, Valsotillo, raises its wines in this historic place.
Around 1,200 square meters of underground galleries, with dry walls without moisture leaks, make it a unique winery in the world of wine, equipped with special characteristics for its maturation and conservation.
In 1992, an extension was made to complete the park of barrels and bottle racks that increased its beauty and connected it with the later buildings dedicated to the first phases of wine production. Their visit is a delight for those who come here, since they find themselves in front of facilities where grape juice has been raised for 400 years.
The wines of Ismael Arroyo, founder of the ValSotillo brand as well as the Ribera del Duero designation of origin in the last quarter of the last century, are aged in this historic winery in excellent conditions, naturally, at a constant temperature of 11-12ºC. throughout the year, together with the absence of vibrations, noise and light, which allow their wines to achieve excellent aging.
The aging process is carried out in American and French oak barrels with a capacity of 225 liters and the rest of the time it rests in the bottle until it is released to the market.
These wines, now made by the children and grandchildren of their founder who continue a long family tradition, show an extraordinary constitution, broad bouquet and texture, which can only be achieved in these unique facilities.

The chicken descended from above, arms stretched toward an unseen sky, as if caught in a dramatic final act. Suspended in midair, yellow feathers swirled around it like echoes of a lost past. Below, the stage was set—ripe tomatoes, fiery chilies, fragrant herbs, and the unmistakable scent of paprika, waiting to embrace their fated guest.
István swirled his glass of white wine, watching the slow descent. “Even in flight, you cannot escape tradition,” he mused, reaching for the spice that would seal its destiny.
Tonight, Magyar paprikás csirke would be made with theatrical flair.
recipe in the first comments
Las viñas de la Ribera del Duero se podan alrededor del mes de febrero.
En la imagen vemos algunas cepas podadas y otras todavía no.
Esta actividad de poda se denomina habitualmente en la zona como sarmentar, palabra que según la RAE expresa también la recogida de los sarmientos.
The vineyards of Ribera del Duero are pruned around the month of February.
In the image, some vines pruned and others not yet.
This pruning activity is usually called in the area as sarmentar, a word that according to the RAE also expresses the collection of shoots.
Topping up wine barrels during maturation. Wine will evaporate over time from a barrel (known as the angels' share). So, regular, slow and laborious topping up becomes necessary.
If not done, the wine will become exposed to much more oxygen and oxidise, which is an unwanted style.
At Joško Gravner, Lenzuolo Bianco, Oslavia (GO), Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.
Another 25 minutes to perfection,
Stuffed pork tenderloin wrapped in caul fat on top of bed of onions, the rendering of the caul fat with the sweetness of the onion will deglaze the pan for later when it is served,
The pan is full size bakers pan that I also use in the shop.
Please read the Tags for the ingredients.
In the cellar (Posto delle Anfore) at Joško Gravner, Lenzuolo Bianco, Oslavia (GO), Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. On the Border with Slovenia.
This is a cellar, almost like no other. 47 Qvevri (Georgian clay amphorae) are buried here and used for naturally fermenting Ribolla Gialla wine. Only their tops can be seen - those with sealed lids are full, and those open are empty. This process will take a year. This is the restarting of ancient methods and completely rejecting modern technologies.
The simple wooden chair is for the winemaker to sit in attendance. There is work to do here, but in between times, a place for contemplation, the only sound being the escape of bubbling carbon dioxide.
Such winemaking simplicity requires huge skill and experience to produce great wine.
The wines will then mature for another six years in another cellar. The results are sublime and also hugely influential.
