when we say climate change, these are the personal consequences.

weather variability will dramatically affect those with lower yield, like Virginia wine growers.

there are machines that growers can purchase to stabilize temperatures In the vineyard in case of emergencies, but 💰

Petit Verdot was not totally open yet, and only experienced maybe 30% damage, and also often sets a good crop from secondary buds that emerge later following damage, so maybe the Petit Verdot will be ok. Chenin is about 50/50 damage. Can Sauv blocks got hit hard. Two of the three Tannat blocks are total loss, the third is maybe 50/50. Albarino maybe 50/50. So it looks like we will hopefully end up with something in the 35 to 40% crop range overall. We’ll need some time to see what did get damaged but wasn’t yet visible damage, and also what emerges still with primary or secondary crop. We’re hopeful for Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Roussanne, Albarino. With very small amounts expected of Tannat, Chenin, Cab Sauv

anybody who's ever spent 30 seconds around me knows that I am a big enthusiast of Virginia wine.

so it's distressing to watch Virginia wine growers send out updates about harvest loss as a result of this most recent cold snap 🍇 😞

Congratulations to the Hungarian people, who came together to reject authoritarianism and corruption at the ballot box, and to Péter Magyar and the Tisza party on a decisive victory.

Today’s result is a win for democracy, in Hungary and around the world.

thank you that's really kind of you man. Truth be told I've been a little anxious about wearing it for a whole bunch of reasons, so your words go even further today.
