I am really falling for Austrian wines. Under the radar, moderately priced and delicious. This blend of Zweigelt, Blaufrankisch, and Merlot ran me $17, gets 92 points and has the most delightful chalky tannins framing a black fruit core. Glad I bought a few bottles.

US wine imports were down for every one of our top 12 -- but not Austria. For some reason, Austrian wine imports were up slightly.

My aplogies as I am a very poor writer. The following is AI generated. I would appreciate anyones opinion on that. A slender, fox-like animal stands alert in a dry, grassy landscape. Its body is mostly tan with a darker, black-and-silver pattern running along its back and tail. It has large, pointed ears, a narrow face, and a bushy tail. The animal is turned slightly sideways but looks directly toward the viewer, appearing watchful and cautious. The background is open and muted, with pale grasses and no other animals or objects nearby.

A late entry for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme from Rob, this little Carolina Wren wasn't shy about showing off its #BirdButt.

A great blue heron braces itself against the wind while perched on a fishing pier in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron's upper body, neck, and head fill the frame. Across the pond, blurred brown and yellow vegetation creates a soft, muted backdrop. Gusts of wind lift the feathers along its body and sweep the plumes on its head upward and back, giving the bird a wild, electrified appearance. Its piercing yellow eyes are encircled by a vivid periwinkle-violet hue-an intensified breeding coloration that emerges during mating season to help attract a mate. Photo by Kort Duce

A Black Oystercatcher coming in to land on rocks next to calm water. Wings are spread and blurred in this shot,red bill and yellow eyes with a red rim are sharp to the left of frame, and pink legs reaching out for the landing spot. The painted looking nails on the feet also visible.
#Black&Red is the #BirdoftheDay theme today, and for me it had to be the Black Oystercatcher - and plenty to choose from in my collection as I so enjoy watching and photographing them. Coming in to land - don't chip those nails! #Birds 🪶 #ECK
