There is also a nuance between forbidden and should be forbidden

Is it not more in the sense of unacceptable rather than forbidden?

Just use du coup in every sentence and you'll pass for a native

Much of what is in the newspapers is not newsworthy!

But they do have children and I find it most unfair to impose that on them, especially the older daughter who clearly did not want to go.

They seem to think it's just one long holiday in the sun. ☹️

These are such fun. Didn't know they still existed. Here is one of my Mum and Dad taken in 1948!

I loved this bit 😆 "The fine wines of humanity, they are the ones who have suffered.” “Like Tina Turner?” I ask. “Exactly!” she says."

Yes, but they achieved their aim. It got the wine talked about.

Yes, this is a famous Jura wine by Ganevat. He also did a follow up

Good luck with that offer. They've clearly got that all worked out already

Great wines. Great winemaker (or used to be). Clearly an inside job.

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I deny everything. The fact that I am friends with their former winemaker has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Oh fruit jellies are lovely, but SOOO fiddly

It is a beautiful, and quite different, region

A look at some lovely wines from the Sierra de Gredos with @miguelcrunia.bsky.social A high altitude, predominantly granite terroir justifiably seeking recognition as an independent wine region in its own right.

3 producers championing Gredos

I tasted the wines of Rico Nuevo, Arrayán and Bodega Nietos de Señora María.

Of course I believe both of those statements

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

And how much of the bottle is left this morning? Hmmm?

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Looks like they gave it a lick of paint since....

Well if you can't spoil yourself on your birthday, when can you??

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yep. The temperature has plummeted, it's definitely autumnal (plus we had a very hefty red we wanted to drink 😉)

Oh my golly gosh...just look what the chef has prepared tonight

Slow roast duck with oyster mushrooms, olives, prunes and various vegetables.

So much so that I have deactivated that one, it is too annoying

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yes, it seems to be the intolerance one where they are a bit overzealous

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I share the sentiment, but I honestly don't think it will change anyone's mind.

Jane Mayl🍷n 🍇 @janetrad.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Ah I thought it might be that. Best get drinking it then.....
