At Barcelona and an interesting Cava Rose though a bit on the straightforward side — 4 months ago
Blend of 60% Monastrell, 20% Garnatxa and 20% Pinot Noir, Llopart family viticulture roots date back to 1385 and making CAVA since 1887, I have visited them while in Barcelona. Aromas of red berry fruit, tiny bubbles and light mousse. On the palate flavors of strawberry and cherry flavors, almost creamy mouthfeel, good balance between acidity and sweetness, ending medium+ in length with some mineral notes. Pair with some sushi rolls. — 2 years ago

I’ve been scripting the life philosophies of those closest to me:
1. My parents’ determinist universe: born into a predetermined script, Can’t veer too far from you class, status, culture, genetic talents. You still have to work hard to attain what can be yours. You can fail, become an alcoholic, waste your birth given place in life. But you can also ease in to life knowing things were meant to be certain ways for everyone.
2. I see life as a pinball game. You get spat out like a ball. Bump up against various circumstances. Some can keep the game going by feeding it more quarters. Others learn the rules or teqnique better. Some enjoy it. Some just float through. In the end we all end up in the same hole.
3. Ivison’s are in an action adventure. No plot. Typical characters. Loads of special effects and a ride.
4. Tim? He has a strong sense of right and wrong, fair and unfair. His life philosophy comes close to a balance board.

Did You Know?
Pinotage was created in 1925 by South African scientist Abraham Perold, who crossed Pinot Noir and Cinsault (locally called Hermitage). While often debated for its red wine style, Pinotage has found new life in rosé and sparkling versions, loved for their vibrancy and freshness. — 24 days ago
