@sarahmayg @Spacedlaw Don't worry about the bottle - found something else! - but it would be lovely to meet either way :)

@sarahmayg @Spacedlaw Yes! I landed in Italy! Sicily specifically (for thematic reasons), but otherwise Lazio would have been wonderful...!

Sadly, the one I had my heart set on won't be available in the New York market until March/April, and I'm distraught.

Hahahahaha, know anyone flying in from Germany or Italy in the next few days? (j/k...mostly!)

@SwellWines This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to try it, as I have it in mind for something else...
@Spacedlaw This made me laugh! I gave up on Greece, Lebanon and Georgia - but did manage to find it somewhere else... Sadly, I'm not sure if the producer ships to the States... Waiting for his reply. A bit sad.
Any thoughts @sarahmayg ?
😌 Probably also a good moment to buy 'Amber Revolution' by @simonjwoolf

Please boost: I'm looking for an amphora/qvevri-made skin-contact wine with notes of (1) flint or smoke, (2) earth and (3) rose petal or flowers. All three.

Preferably Greece, Lebanon or Georgia. All the better if the soil is volcanic. #orangewine

@eijmitchell I've arrived 😂
My first post with picture. Hope it works! Thanksgiving at some dear friends’ house. Hope they will like the wines 🤞
Interesting, though light, story about how cranberry jelly is made. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/dining/canned-jellied-cranberry-sauce-thanksgiving.amp.html
The question I had after reading was how sand helps prevent fungus. The answer here: https://www.umass.edu/cranberry/pubs/bmp_sanding.html
