Bougie Black Brother

We finally get around to tasting the blue wine from Spain.  Since this is a sunny spring afternoon, it was a good time to pop it open and have a clear palate to see what I can compare it to.  Word on the street is it is too sweet and not a good regular drinking wine.  Well, I'll be the judge of that Mister.

This Amazon series was heavily advertised and touted as a great SCI FI  series.  From the works of a Swedish artist Simon Stalenhag, These 8 episodes were crated.  Obviously nothing I imagined it would be, and this is much more emotional and story based than your typical extravagant science fiction.  

  

 

The team comes back to discuss the country opening up even when the corona virus isn't being tested on a consistent bases.  We discuss wherein masks and not wearing mask and how society has a split on what side you are on.  And the next question is, do we really have a president running the country? We end it with the Biden sexual assault charges

  

A red Italian grape variety that, as of 2000, was the third most-planted red grape variety in Italy.  This grape has luscious flavors of ripe cherry and dark blackberry that harmonize with notes of sweet spice and vanilla.  This is from the Central Coast of California 

Another Netflix foreign film, and this one is from Poland.  Not many movies or shows I've seen come out of Poland but this one seemed like something worth while seeing.  This is the summary.  After a body is found sewn inside of a cow hide.  A local detective discovers a killer is recreating an 18th century "plague" of criminal punishments on a bunch of bad people.  Now, does this sound like something we have seen before?

The team talks about the resurgence of racial violence and harassment that we didn’t think would be occurring during a global pandemic. Also is this isolation affecting people mentally to react in violent ways. Domestic violence, divorce, etc.

  

This wine offers notes of baked buttered apples and cinnamon almost reminiscent of apple strudel, with hints of toasted almond. The palate is full and lush with balanced acidity. Notes of nutmeg and allspice and a touch of clove. Drink now through 2023.

A fatal accident at a remote survivalist training camp sends participants into a panic - and sets the stage for a chilling showdown. Sounds good don’t it. Or does it. Well It starts off like a bunch of regular anarchist learning to survive out in the wilderness until some real f’ed up stuff happens and the main protagonist freakin dies. So how does this end? Its in French so the intensity of watching this closer is recommended. A Canadian movie as well

Since we are in this Corona lock down, I had time to go back to 2019 and bring forward some beat makers,  producers that I didn't get time to touch.  One guy I was enjoying for a few years is Mndsgn (Mind Design) a Philippine, Jersey living, Cali living producer. I got caught up with his style once I listened to his 2014 release Yawn Zen.   Labeled under electronic, not really hip hop with his early releases. This latest release Snaxx has recovered beats from a hard drive that was supposed to be a full release from a 2018 mix tape.  I compare his music discography from then to now.

     

This is a crisp and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with lots of citrus and gooseberry aromas. Crisp and refreshing with lemon and lime flavours together with a steely mineral quality.
