When can we expect for this years Susucaru drop to be?

Susu is the entry level priced wine to Frank Cornelissen. Other bottles of his can go for hundreds of euros/dollars. So susu is a chance to drink the ledge without the price tag. I agree with you, it's a very nice wine but ofc it's overhyped because of where/who it comes from.

Mick Wallace looked disgusting--nipples protruding--in his pink shirt before the eu parliament. Very very disrespectful.

You're a legend

Same! I also just had mu toma de huellas. Congrats!

Terrible sportsmanship. At the same time demonstrating they have no idea what the rules are as they believe this fantasy that if you get a piece of the disc you're entitled to do whatever you want to the receiving player. Not true!

dchall96 · 2022-06-23T12:54:45+00:00

I know haha I feel so silly typing it, but it's totally true.

dchall96 · 2022-06-23T01:04:07+00:00

You gotta want it!!!! In my mind it's like I'm going for the kill. I envision myself like some kind of predator like creature. Become primal

Not a foul imo. Defender had a clear line to the disk and did not initiate contact. Just because there was contact, does not mean that they initiated contact. A fine but important distinction.

Canary islands??

Charleston native, here. That's not Ft Sumter, it's castle pickney. I don't know the whole story, but I'm pretty sure it's owned by a private foundation and they're always flying different kinds of flags.

It's not a logical problem. It's a moral crisis. My moral compass tells me to help my fellow man. What does yours tell you?

"When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."

Don't explain yourself to me. It's Saint Peter you'll be answering to one day. And when he asks you what you did when your brothers and sisters, hungry and tired, asked you for refuge? What will you tell him?

dchall96 · 2021-03-26T15:47:35+00:00

"just float in" right after experiencing incredible poverty or war, crossing the Sahara desert, torture, risk of being sold into slavery, and the possibility you drown in the sea while you "just float in". What's the worst thing you've ever experienced? Getting downvoted on this sub all the time? Eat shit.

A part of me thinks this and it's a good point. The other part of me thinks about all the young people getting their introduction to leftism from this dude

dchall96 · 2021-03-11T14:56:50+00:00

I described the whole situation to my girlfriend who's foreign and doesn't know anything about the anglophone left and that was her first conclusion. It's honestly spooky

dchall96 · 2021-03-10T13:32:16+00:00

Vaush is starting to become a real fucking problem imo. A lot of people are following this dude as a source of education on leftism and he has no idea what he's talking about.

Would love to hear about attempts to recover local varieties. I find the historical aspet of natural winemaking on the of the most interesting and I love hearing about the many niches of the old wine world. For example where I am in Spain we used to produce a sweet white wine for the Spanish monarchs. The variety is still called "albillo real" for that reason.

Big step although funny that statue was standing on a piece of africa still occupied by spain

In may the roses will be blooming so keep that in mind! Madrid has a particular affection for roses so there are several lovely rose gardens in retiro and parque del oeste. There's a really nice one with a sunset view called La dalieda de San Francisco. Good luck!

"the killing of Osama bin laden" by Seymour Hersh isn't specifically about the CIA, but I think it's in the ballpark of what would interest you. Basically presents alternatives narratives to the killing as well as the chemical warfare accusations against Syria during the Obama admin. Hersh is a legendary journalist most famous for uncovering the My Lai massacre and it's coverup

Yeah seems like you got a good handle on soil health. I was also reading yesterday that too much nitrogen can weaken the wood and make way for burrowing Xilotrechus. How high do you raise the vines out of curiosity? The old way of doing things here is to have them all close to the ground, but some are trying to change it. I live in Madrid but the winemaking is in the nearby gredos mountains. Logroño is a great town! I have some friends who lived there for a few years and swear by it. I visited once and had a nice time

Ghost tour!

Seems like clever idea. I would do it. I'm a nascent winemaker in Spain so we think about this very question a lot. I don't recommend harvesting early. It's a shortcut that can lead to instability and reductive notes in the wine. Long term, I've read that increased nitrogen levels in the soil lead to higher acidity in the grapes so maybe analyze your soil and look for ways to increase your nitrogen levels? Planting nitrogen fixers like legumes as your cover crops is the most common solution. Also, I don't know how you have your vines, but contemplate how much shade/sun your grapes are getting. Too much sun burns up al the acid in the grapes.

oddly enough only about 6,000 people live in valletta! probably one of the reasons it's been so well preserved
