According to our indoor air filter, nothing contaminates the air quality in our house more than me cooking something on the gas stove. #cheers !

From my spot in NWOH this Sunday morning, the moon is quite a display as destiny with the western horizon approaches.

I made crabcakes for dinner and the wine was good too! #winesky #cheers

Cooking with wine so I can drink the wine. I carefully measured the wine like Justin Wilson on PBS when I was a young man. #alittlemorewine #winesky #bucklin #mixedwhites #sonoma #cheers

Roasting rack of pork is smelling so good as I sample the Pinot Noir I pulled from our cellar. Happy New Year! #winesky

It wouldn’t be a #newyearseve observance without a bit of wine. #cheers #happynewyear

For those following along, the Christmas roast. It was tasty, but the wine was spectacular. Saving a bit for tomorrow to see how it further evolves. #merrychristmas #winesky

Going to sip on this #pritchardhill beauty from @chappellet and allow it to breathe a bit before we eat the roast beef a little later. #merrychristmas #winesky

I cooked and peeled some shrimp to go along with the wine and The Godfather this #christmaseve #cheers #winesky

Hope this pairs nicely with our #christmaseve seafood snacks. Merry Christmas to all celebrating! #winesky

Test driving my recipe for the Birch Old Fashioned I’m serving for #clarkmas tomorrow. I think I have a winner. #cheers

Sometimes I emulate my FIL Mike and help myself to a big pour. Could be medicinal. #cheers #winesky

My short rib pasta leftovers from #Sabira deserve a decent bottle don’t you agree? #winesky

The jams from #Matthiasson arrived today. The holiday season may now commence! #cheers #winesky #farmersfirst

The best part of cooking with wine is drinking the rest of the bottle. Anyone had this one? Cheers!

Greg Clark @madgac.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Snow outside, football on the teevee, cream of ham and potato soup is necessary. The best part of deglazing with a good wine is getting to sip on the rest of the bottle as the soup simmers and comes together. Cheers! #winesky #foodandwine #foodsky

Turkey over lump charcoal and whiskey barrel staves is gonna be tasty later. Happy Thanksgiving! #cheers #winesky #foodsky #whiskeysky

These soldiers are just chilling in the Midwest walk-in cooler for drinking in a bit. Happy Thanksgiving to all. #cheers #winesky

Wish me luck my friends. Gonna try to turn these end of season green tomatoes into a chutney to serve with the grilled pork tenderloin later this evening. Does #winesky have suggestions for a wine I should search the cellar for?

My (now long) experience supports this thesis. I would add greater expectations/reduced patience as well.

Greg Clark @madgac.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

So the power went out just before I went to make coffee this morning. All is well though; with a battery powered lamp and an extension cord to the @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social #fordlightning in the garage, I’m good to start another day. #cheers

This little maple was planted in this spot in March of 2020. In spite of the uncertainty at the time, we planted a tree. It continues to be a symbol of hope for me and this morning, it truly is showing off some color so I am sharing a bit of my hope with you.

Found a good chair. Next challenge is a proper cocktail. Any suggestions? @andaz.bsky.social #cheers

Gonna treat some flank steak to hot coals a bit later. Hopefully this works ok. I am sipping on it from now till then just to make sure… #winesky #mikesmithsky

I’m going to be haunted by “left on base” until pitchers and catchers report in the spring I guess.

Hard to go wrong with a couple of Flannery steaks and a bottle of Rivers Marie Cabernet Sauvignon this rainy(ish) Monday evening. #winesky

The backyard garden is still providing me with peppers. What shall I do with them?

Not much better than tomatoes from the backyard drizzled w olive oil from #matthiasson. Local sweet corn with grilled burgers washed down w #lagiermeredith #zinfandel a little later too! #winesky

Looks like my @tigers.bsky.social had a great season; too bad it was the last part of ‘24 and the first part of ‘25…

Greg Clark @madgac.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

It appears my @tigers.bsky.social started the All Star break a bit early. What should I go pull from the cellar #winesky ?

Greg Clark @madgac.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Felt like a beer. Will it taste better in this glass?

Greg Clark @madgac.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

When the good guys from #Detroit sweep that team from “the land”, I open a good bottle of wine with my grilled burgers from #flannerybeef. I’m only drinking half the bottle today @yountvillewjs.bsky.social and saving half for tomorrow…if I can resist the second half… #cheers #winesky #gotigers

Is that a 737 or a broom the good guys are headed home on? Go @tigers.bsky.social !

Hope this tastes good with the grilled chicken in a bit. Any #winesky folks tasted this or any others from the Phelan Farm project?

Taste pour of red wine in a glass next to the bottle it was poured from. Gamay Noir, Mondeuse, Pinot Noir blend. 12% alc.

So @wbwine.bsky.social encouraged me to at least make it a good Pinot Noir…Challenge accepted and New World too. Delicious watching baseball. Can’t wait to get into the cold chicken in a bit! #cheers #winesky This note Thomas or you @yountvillewjs.bsky.social ? www.riversmarie.com/product/deta...

I’ve been writing notes for this mailer in pairs the last few nights. I have a case box with a bottle of each wine standing up waiting to be popped. It’s been amazing how the random drawing of wines...

I grilled spatchcocked chickens yesterday and ate them w family and some great #chardonay . This morning I took a walk and reflected on the sacrifice of so many on our behalf. I’m now enjoying some water therapy before @tigers.bsky.social baseball. Leftover chicken later; maybe #PinotNoir ? #winesky
