Did they use liters back then?

This gentleman was huge in my understanding of the Hungarian gestalt. He should be supported in the work he courageously pursues.

Like eating little nuggets of gold.

Not even par for the course, this is way under par. Masters of delusion, each and every one.

Don’t fret MAGA, this foreign drubbing is an isolated incident in far off Europe. It has nothing to do with your platform or your leaders. 😃

I kind of like the ones with rock stars gathered in a club when they were young.

I prefer to ignore him altogether. To give him even negative credit galls me.

Let’s not give Vance any credit. His influence was nonexistent. Orban lost this election months ago. It was right wing hubris that made these idiots think Trump or Vance are men of consequence.

Can’t believe they could rebuild it for that much. Seems quite reasonable.

Maybe it’s just the nagging umbra that surrounds us.

Me too. I feel as though I lived in the Golden Age and have trouble with the doom and gloom of today.

Always good stuff.

You’d never know it, his writing always induces smiles, but this is as downbeat as I’ve ever heard Randall. www.wine-searcher.com/m/2026/04/us...

DROPLETS: The Week in Natural Wine Vital natural wine counter-propaganda. This week: Chiara Pepe becomes a flying winemaker. Domaine Andrea Calek up for sale. Karakterre erratum. "Orange wine" versus "skin contact." And more.

Livermore Valley winemakers vote for two-grape strategy Winegrowers in California’s Livermore Valley region have officially decided that their future lies in two signature grapes - Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc - with producers starting to rip out oth...

They should also lean into semillon. Terry Leighton did well with Livermore semillon. www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2026/04/live...

Alpine wines slap.

Going out has become an expensive luxury. I see the whole thing as unsustainable and, yes, it seems as though Gen Z has years of loneliness ahead.

Wow, that is a mix.

Yes, I agree.

That’s also my take from California, from Switzerland nothing normal applies, from wine-producing Europe the allocations are very fair.

The Problem Isn’t Demand. It’s Dilution. From Expansion to Execution in Napa Valley

Kind of hits many of the same points as this one from earlier.

The Reason Americans Have Stopped Drinking Out And what it signals for the restaurant trade elsewhere

I was certain of this several years ago, but here’s some data. And Gen Z is drinking less exactly because they can’t afford to is my add-on. www.drinksinsider.com/p/the-reason...

I thought Fulham losing to Southampton last week was bad, what say you tonight, Arsenal?

Happy birthday, Randall.

Really? I guess they want to move them. How were they?

For context, the Caloz Pinot retails for around $24, the Litwan for around $40.

I like both producers. I haven’t either of those though. Litwan’s wines tend to be light and pure but can be reductive in youth. Sandrine’s wines tend to be fruit forward and delicious. The Pinots tend to be on the simple side.

It’s remarkably hard to pin down which is the biggest dummkopf in the Trump administration. Each one fully owns their signature brand of stupidity, which is usually multi-faceted, but this moron is definitely the most punchable.
