I will forever be baffled how malt and “malted” flavor items aren’t more popular. Once upon a time it was one of THE geat American flavors. It’s about time it made a comeback.

Oh…jeez…actor / stuntman / martial artist RICHARD NORTON passed away this weekend - right after I watched CHINA O’BRIEN 1 & 2 for the very first time! Even James Gunn knew what a loss this was. Time for an “in memorium” marathon of his best movies.

Wine for kittens! Kitty deserves a glass (well, a bowl. A "bowl"? What is this, cat marijuana? Well, yes, actually, that's what it is, in liquid form.) Pour a bowl for kitty, then take pictures of their before and after, like I did with Kirara here. He had a gooooood time.

Pinot Meow, MosCATo, White Kittendel, CATbernet. Also comes in ZinfanTail + CharDOGnay for pups! Search for "Wine Pawty Pack" online to find.

I’ve never known that much about David Lynch himself, but TWIN PEAKS has been my favorite TV show of all time since forever. And Blue Velvet was the first movie to challenge me as a viewer. And my all reports, he was a fucking saint. Raising a glass to the fact that we had 70+ years of this man.

Hey, look what finally popped up in my Trader Joe's @jessicamaison.bsky.social! Jessica recently paired this wine to drink while watching the 2009 movie MOON on our podcast (wineand.substack.com/p/wine-andmo...) Details on the wine in the Alt text! $5.99 at TJ's.

The pretty purple hue tells you this is a wine with lower acdiity (the pH of a red wine shifts the color from red to blue/purple regardless of the original color of he grapes' skins.) Lower acidity = a "sweeter" wine, it will taste sweeter and jammier even if there technically isn't any sugar in it, though it also has a restrained amount of alcohol - only 13.5% - so the alcohol doesn't contribute to too much more "sweetness" on the palate, which when it's too high, it absolutly does make liquid taste "sweeter". This is a blend of Merlot and Zinfandel from Lodi, Cali, bth varieties known or lower acidity and fruit-forwardness. The Merlot brings the cherry, while the Zin brings the darker bramble fruit flavors and a touch of black pepper for something savory. This is a budget TJ wine at only $5.99 / bottle. Fro that price, this is a big fat recommend.

Brilliant message, but see, rich people think they *are* "doing the right thing". They think they're smarter and wiser than poorer people. People in general are complete shite at figuring out "the right thing". That's why concentrated wealth is bad, full stop. Few if any of us can do right by it.
