SPANISH WINE
Tumblr media
It has been a month since I started attending a Reformed confessional church. It has been a breath of fresh air to me. There is much rest in accepting my humanity—that I'm a sinner, falling short of God's standard, of God's holiness. I can genuinely feel the care of the people especially my friends who are helping me to transition.
We drink Spanish wine for the communion of the saints. The wine is bitter than other wines. As I heard if you are a wine enthusiast, you do not pick this one or you whined, wordplay intended. But as for me as long as I'm at the table of Cristo Rey, I know that any wine—no matter how bitter—is still a grace from God that I can enjoy the serving of His love through reminding myself of Jesus' sweet sacrifice for my salvation. I can enjoy God through thick and thin, in health and sickness, in better or worse, in smooth and rough roads of my pilgrimage.
Me, internally, as I'm typing those words above thinking of how grateful I am with my friends from the church where I'm transitioning to who encourages me and are willing to genuinely lend their ears to listen to me as I share my struggles in life, and me having the confidence that they will not use it to their advantage:

Vina Vina
So who wants a Rioja that drinks like yGay, Faustino and Tondonia–WAY above standard Murrietta or Riscal or Campo Viejo–for half the price? Me does. Blisteringly young–only a year of bottle-age beyond the standard 18 mos–but showing the fruit and tight polish of a sublime, indefinitely-ageable Reserva. Nice medium ruby in the glass, with vague hints of amber at the rim. Nose of deep dark cherry,…

We’ve never had an ornamental gourd this big. Could it be that the mystery cucurbit is a pumpkin vine?

Three in Hand
Quick notes on three at dinner: opened in this order. 10YO Rueda found on the list! and the age-ability of these whites continues to astound. Closed in and tight on pour at refer temps, s l o w l y blossomed with warmth and air into brilliance–but never astonishing. Stupidly cheap–easily the bargain on the list–the fruit presented itself in time with dusty ripe apple and solid minerality with…

I need a fic where the marauders argue over what kind of alcohol is the best. Remus would state that whiskey is superior, although he secretly enjoys sweet wine/drinks much more (Pads knows that, gives him a side eye). Sirius and James, at the beginning, would both say red wine, but when James starts to praise his mother's homemade sangria, they would end up screaming at each other like their life depends on it. Just when Lily or other responsible individual was about to break them apart, Peter would say that beer is the best. They all stare at him silently as if he grew a second head...after that they all agreed to never bring this subject up again.

ofmd spoilers ahoy but
AHHHH
so glad they let Ed say that one line back at Stede, I literally had to pause it and roll around yelling
lol their awkwardness as they move so so so so torturously slowly back towards each other is so painfully familiar
oh my god the tension is so painfully well done that I am about to dive into their ao3 tag (and I've had about 0 interest in m/m fic for multiple years at this point) because I have, like, some equivalent to blue balls, fucking CHRIST
really enjoyed the mlm/wlw solidarity of Mary and Ed chatting and smoking weed
BAHAHAHA Anne and Mary's kinky relationship is so great, plus the degree to which they made fun of Ed and Stede
(as a 43-year-old woman thank you, THANK YOU, that they're not in their 20's)
unrelated to all the previous notes but I just want to be pleased that rather than the < .speaking Spanish. > bullshit they CAPTIONED THE GOD DAMNED SPANISH
if Ed and Stede don't bang soon I WILL PERSONALLY LOSE MY SHIT
