Sitges, Penedès, Catalonia. Vineyards in autumn.
These vineyards grow a special grape variety used to make malvasia, an aromatic sweet white wine typical from the city of Sitges.
According to legend, a Sitgetan man called Jofre brought the first vines of this variety from the Adriatic coast in the Middle Ages. He participated in the defence of Sicily under the orders of Roger de Llúria (c.1245-1305), and it was there where he first discovered how this drink was made by the friars in a Greek city-monastery called Malvasia, thought to be modern-day Monemvasia.
After centuries of cultivation in Sitges, nowadays malvasia is considered Sitges's most genuine product. It can only be purchased bottled in the town's wine cellars. The most renowned one is Sant Joan Baptista Hospital's cellar, which you can see in the photo.

I tried ice wine for the first time today and it was. So so good. They leave the grapes frozen on the vine for at least 3 days and then crush them and all the sugars are condensed...it tastes like brown sugar and candied pears oh my god....but one grape makes only a single drop so it's rly expensive 😭

Up the Hill
The way to success is not a walk in the park, the path may be steep, the obstacles formidable, and the burdens heavy, but it is our resilience and our willingness to create a version of ourselves worthy of the prize in the face of adversity that defines our ascent to greatness. Past the point where the streetlights dared not touch and the world disappeared in the thick mist through the twisted…

Going Commanda
I am going to have to study a bit on how this wine is made, because it was not what I was expecting. Been curious for many years and finally pulled the trigger on a bottle. I basically just says: “sweet red wine” “with nutty, spice character” and I expected something like Greek retsina or something weird like that, but NO. It’s just basically a really nice Madeira or old character port. NV of…

Let us be brutally honest with ourselves and with eachother for a moment. If he weren't obese you motherfuckers would be capable of percieving evrart claires sexy sexy moral ambiguity and complex charms
#i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE#my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it.#if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy#despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital#if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners#but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure#on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser#and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of *all* the poor of martinaise#opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union#though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals#to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel#still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it#but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful#thats cus hes not conventionally attractive#cus he is *every bit* as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk

EVENUS ZINFANDEL PORT 2008
EVENUS ZINFANDEL PORT 2008
“ Education is not a part of life. Education IS life.” One of my college professors Before going into specifics about this wine I have to tell you that this was really a unique experience. Since I am not really a fan of dessert wines and I normally don’t like anything too sweet, I was reluctant to say the least. But this wine was served at a dinner party with some good friends and they had held…

maple flavor chuu wow i have never seen something i agree with so wholeheartedly and so fast
Yeah i figured he'd be a warm seasonal flavor. Maple-y is what i think of the most. Apple too (but i did get influenced by mayoi). Very sweet, a little spicy.
