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

Incredible story of Western Rome’s last empress, Galla Placidia, with a lot of political savvy and the hots for a Gothic king. But my favorite moment in this story is when her derpy brother, the Roman emperor, who sucks at his job, misunderstands the message that Rome has perished to mean that his chicken, who he named Rome, had died.
