There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
That’s just prefect.
p.s.
Started out Grenache typical uber strawberry (why I really don’t care for Grenache), but two hours later there’s a lot of spice and something that I can only describe as “dusty, old baseball glove.” Much more interesting.
Last night on Ocracoke Island, NC… with a bit of Yeah after the beach, in the form of the 2021 Family Band.
• 2023 Summer Salters III Rosé
Last bottle of this splendid rosé. Loved it every time we opened one. Love the funky color. Loads of summer fun, strawberry, watermelon, thyme and oregano, juicy with great refreshing lift. Very Beatlesesque — “Twist and Shout”.
Balls of lighting riding along a river of silk. This is the most interesting bottle of Bordeaux variety wine I have had in a very long time.
Went to Stella in Kenwood last week for the first time. Like its sister restaurant, the (outstanding) Glen Ellen Star, the local wine selection is nicely curated and markups very reasonable. I glanced at the BTG list and right there at the top of the reds was EWCY! Innervisions II. The most exciting red on the list, it also happened to be the least expensive. I gulped down a fragrant, sumptuously flavored glass before the pasta even got to the table.
