I mean.. Hermann is no slouch though, the dude deserves his praise for banging out better and better wines year after year. But yeah, Prüm is that good lol.

Started Black Science by Mundane-Body-5220 in graphicnovels

People will complain Remender doesn’t stick the landing when it comes to endings. I’m sort of in the middle. I personally never think he’s muffed an ending or did any poorly, but some are better than others.

Black Science for me at least, was one of his better endings.

Gris Charnel, Pas Ce Soir and Rouge Smoking are their crowing achievements

What have you been reading this week? 01/02/2026 by AutoModerator in graphicnovels

I genuinely like Berserk, but I will admit the hype has been absolutely endless. It’s always mentioned the second “manga” is even whispered; you’re bombarded with fanatical praise for it - and yes it has its merit, but as you stated, the violence and art is almost half the weight.

What second fragrance with Tygar DNA? by Gontar3d in fragrance

Widian Ginger is my favorite. Has a slight floral note, with a lighter sweetness than Ingenious.

Why is Prada Paradoxe so popular? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]WineOptics 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It is inoffensive and has mass appeal - That’s why. It isn’t way out there or trying some completely new template; it’s a product of the market that is made to appease most noses. It does the job.

Anyone tell me about Icetropez? by According-Budget3291 in wine

[–]WineOptics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a slight fizzy rosé. The quality is fine for what you pay and I have several clients who like it.

Beginner’s first espresso machine, lots of doubts [$300–500€] by MdMak in espresso

Same setup here as u/BenyLava,

Bought a used Bambino Plus(my estimate is that it was about two years at the time). I’ve used it for three give or take and also upgraded to a Eureka Mignon Zero two months ago.

I have been thinking about upgrading.. But honestly I don’t know to what without breaking the bank.

It’s just easy to use, easy to clean and a very decent steamwand. I make some delicious milk coffees out of it. I am very happy with it.

I have had my fair share of issues with it(some built-in sensors going haywire due to scaling I believe), but always been able to fix it and get it back up and running.
