« Hey, what about Trump » is the literal trump card for whatever argument the right wants to make about pretty much about anything for the next several decades.

He tried but ultimately he seemed handcuffed by his own fairness and decency. RIP hero. www.ms.now/news/former-...

SFO brass looking like geniuses. They long ago hired private security for TSA services. No lines there. OTOH, most of the longest wait times are in red state airports. Dem politicians should be leafleting those.

I know things can get worse, but it’s incredible how the orange baboon has gotten everything so wrong: Venezuela, the Middle East, Ukraine, Cuba, Canada, NATO, the economy, immigration, and on and on. November, please get here fast.

We kind of knew that. www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

I found after a long day in the bush, wine was most welcome. Better yet, some of SA’s most special bottles. SA wine culture is first rate. www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/trav...

We have no need for this in Geneva. We already have excellent burger joints here using excellent Swiss beef and they don’t come with Bible-thumping preachiness and tax-avoiding owners.

The dude can’t help himself. He lives in a fantasy world where lies are the currency of the realm. When will this monster be held to account?

This piece is quite chilling. Anti-alcohol sentiment is seeping into all walks of life, particularly in America.

This story right here is one of the beautiful things about America. The mashup of cultures is truly heartwarming. www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar...

Sheesh. www.worldradio.ch/news/bitesiz...

In response to a reporter’s question, Trump claimed to know where all US-based Iranian sleeper cells are. Well then, the reporter asks: why is ICE rounding up legal residents and not sleeper cells? That’s a gotcha. The first thing out of his mouth is always a lie.

Very happy with last night’s wines.

On my way.

🔥🔥

I’ve tasted every one of these wines, some like Jayer and Leroy in several iterations, and some in verticals, but there is one that has escaped me. Can you guess which?

Wonder how Krispi Gnome will try to rehabilitate herself for public consumption. They all do it when Trump hangs them out to dry. I’m afraid this one is forever tarnished and her only hope is a pardon. She better be nice.

Please direct future bribes to the Trump DOJ. Thank you for your attention to this matter. www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar...

I have so much respect for the Monte Rosso vineyard that I’m drawn to try these wines. Gallo “luxury’ be damned. www.winebusiness.com/news/article...

Wise words. foodandwineaesthetics.com/2026/03/03/m...

Re: earlier discussion. Just as some dogs resemble their humans, do some wines resemble their makers? I tend to enjoy them more when they do. Any examples, anyone?

I expected nothing less from HRC. Go girl.

For those who don’t know Paolo Basso, he was the winner of world’s best somm in 2013. As you might expect his own wines based on Merlot from Ticino, his home, are perfectly rendered. Savory Merlot to get the juices flowing is just what this boy needs tonight.

No wonder Swiss winemakers are pissed.

While we rightfully applaud the decision, there’s more to the story than common sense jurisprudence. Yes, Libertarians hate taxes and tariffs, too. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dont-...

It’s really mind boggling the amount of corruption there exists in the world. And in plain sight. Doesn’t matter the country, it’s happening without shame. Oligarchs are a thing and their methods are refined.

I’m finally beginning to think this Epstein thing is going to blow up. No one knows when, but it’s going to blow. Numerous governments are on the case with, hopefully, more to follow.

These fucking people. www.threads.com/@sami/post/D...

Ahh, Chalone. Those of us old enough to remember the glory days with Dick Graff rue the day they grew and went public. Great wines, sometimes flawed, but always interesting. Little known the chard finished third in the Judgment of Paris tasting. www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar...

Hey, wait a minute. Sparkling Rhône already exists in Saint Péray. Why did the commissioner ignore this fact?

Is a wine harvested in September of 2022 and tasted in January of 2026 really a four year old wine?

Wine Industry Professionals: such a tiny nebula in the Bluesky galaxy.

So much respect for those touched by this dark day. It’s so clear to me the oligarchs do not serve us. In fact, they are a blight and nothing more than parasites. open.substack.com/pub/dmwineli...

Tell me what you really think, Ollie.

Is the element of blackmail the biggest difference between Epstein and Hugh Hefner? The Playboy mansion had some funky shit going down, too.

If I was an ICE agent, I’d be Googling «The fate of Nazi collaborators in post-war France » right now.

America’s relationship with wine is fraught and often split along the lines of gender, educational status, political affiliation, and economic status. It’s no wonder wine appreciation is so misunderstood. Great piece. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/d...

Remember the days when key Trump staffers stayed on the job just to keep him in check. Those days are gone. Now they are all as certifiable as he is.

You bet they welcome it. This kind of thing reinforces the notion that the USSC is open for business and that our dear leader perhaps--oh, I don't know--profited from it somehow. Wanna bet how the ruling goes? www.bayer.com/en/us/news-s...
