Thinking about what you drink as carefully as you do about what you eat can lead to much better bottles on the table.I can pay more for bottles.
That does not limit the choices significantly.
The aesthetics of wine continue to escape me.
When they work the effect is wonderful.
Most of the time they don't work.
Endless experimentation is required for an informed opinion.
I have not been willing to pay that price.

Pause This Presidency!
The question of Russian interference is existential.The presidency can be stopped.
It cannot be paused except by congressional inaction.
The last eight years are an object lesson in that method.
The Democrats will do what they can to November 2018.
At that point democrats must act against the Trump autocracy.
