I excel at most I do, absolutely(!), including tasting and identifying wine varietals, blends (and percentages therein to +-5%), food (deconstructing ingredients and formulating precise recipes) and beer (ales, lagers, wild). I can taste grapes off the vine and identify the varietal as well, evermore! I am truly blessed with the gift of a phrase I personally coined, "Perfect Taste", positively.
Cheers!

Sir, that is not "identifying" a varietal , absolutely! I trust you do not drink a bottle of wine labeled "100% merlot" and "identify" it as, a merlot, definitively?

Taste practice can in time make "perfect taste", positively (yet, I was born with this gift)!

Wander the vineyards "tasting" grapes blindly and you, too, will develop identification abilities and perhaps one day, "perfect taste", hopefully. I for one, have been doing so since I was a young child, naturally!

Cheers!

Certainly someone of your esteem, W&FE, would know that the term, "varietal" is an adjective. You should be using the word, "variety." YOU, Madam, stand corrected. Carry on...

BRR, I hate to poop in your Wheaties, but varietal is a noun as well. I thought I'd throw this in before the gasbag responds with another overwrought post. Cheers!

Yonic is often used as is Vulvic though Pudendal would work as well.

Yes, but not as often as before.

If you can't start a war with North Korea, try antagonizing the entire Middle East. #45 is taking us down a very bad road.

It’s honestly unbelievable unconscionable.

Past President's promised this as well (Clinton, Bush and Obama) yet none of them carried through. Why not?

The 1995 Embassy Act was passed by Congress, and every president since Clinton has waived and delayed action on this, mostly due to "national security" reasons. The city is too much of a flashpoint for this to be a good idea. That's why NO ONE has their embassy there now. More grandstanding and deflection by the orange idiot.

If anyone thinks there is or will ever be any chance of peace or even peaceful coexistence the U.S. can’t do this let alone be the only one taking such an obvious and blatant position.

Seasoned advisors within the current administration warned against this unwise move that will produce nothing positive and only cause greater division or worse. This entire issue is SO far above the orange idiots capabilities it is both laughable and scary.

Now that’s random and off topic!

Question: If we have almost daily posts about the daily news (cough, cough....politics), is that still random and off topic? Just sayin’

What dumbfounds me is that some seem hell bent on getting yet another multi-paged, multi-year thread nuked.

Agreed. As such, I respectfully request that posts on this thread remain as apolitical as possible. Otherwise, I will be in the unfortunate position to hound those on this board that may contribute to this post's demise.

Thank you for listening.

It's not that freaking hard. Go over to the Travel & Entertainment section. Create a thread with some innocuous title like "What kind of pet do you own?" or "Looking for Napa recommendations" that'll likely get people to click into it. Then start the post with whatever political point you'd like to make. Sit back and watch the uncontrollable contribute with abandon. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Correct you are Joe!!

I agree with stopping the political posts. I get enough political crap as it is without it bubbling up on the forums.

Isnt it nice to see that even with the political posts things have remained civil the last couple weeks. Didnt take much to change that.

MIA folks helped

This is a Sacred Thread as long as we keep it civil.

No politics please, folks get carried away on that subject. Hold for an off-line.
