The True Chameleon: An Introduction to Muscat via @guildsomm https://bit.ly/3kW0dU9
Been bored the past few weeks. Been filling the time doing mindless things. Mostly on the ‘net. When I needed to, I did my research for shows and that does take a decent amount of time. But I do those in groups. I was going to wait till Monday to really start, but no reason to wait. Time to finish my Greece flash cards concerning #greekwine then South Africa. After that Australia. I’m excited for that because one of my followers was kind enough to buy me some iconic Aussie wines to help. So look for a show about them eventually. I will have gotten well past Australia’s flash cards by the time you’ll see those shows. Anyway. I had only barely started my attack plan earlier this year. I would have only had Germany left to do in January and then spend all of February to review assuming I was going to take the #advancedsommelierexam #advancedsommexam in March of 2021. The earliest I can now take it is March 2022 and I plan to request that date. What do you see here. Flashcard Hero Lite for my flashcards. Cross platform app (Mac OS, Windows, iOS, not sure about Android). #guildsomm expert guide on Greece. I’ll finish with their compendium. Then a video of a @jeanmicheljarre concert in Morocco. Did you catch my #moroccanwine show recently? No? Well I have ANOTHER one coming January 4th! JMJ is my favorite musician of all time. I have it on more for background music but I’m sure I’ll peek at the video occasionally :) I’m not in super serious study mode just yet. Not pictured is my legal appellation spreadsheet for Greece. I’ll do that once I hit the compendium. #questforthegreenpin #sommlife #lifewithmark https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd4Vh3LUYm/?igshid=1hswbhj1ou3un

How winemakers analyze pH (measures acids strength or the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution) & TA (measures concentration of acid) in wine is extremely important and is one of many factors shaping a wine’s chemistry, and perception can be influenced in myriad ways [SevenFifty Daily] Such a fun day with these amazing people from Ireland 🇮🇪 wine tasting in vineyards @antiyalwines @santaritawinescl @vinacarmencl @williamfevre and @vinaharasdepirque 🍷🍽🙌💥❤️🇨🇱 #ridedevuelta #rdvwinetours #sommelier #sommlife #guildsomm #sevenfiftydaily #greatpeople #fun #winetasting #acidity #alcohol #microbiology #potassium #perception #chemistry #wineeducation #chileanwine #winetour #experience #chile #visit #travel #wine #vino #foodandwine #winestagram #instawine #instalove #igers #igstyle @hotelescityexpress (en Maipo Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0pOq9YHoax/?igshid=1745ziuei7wpl
“Is a blend necessarily more complex than a varietal wine?” (Kelli White @kelliwhitewine #amazingjournalist #guildsomm ), Jason Haas from @tablascreek responds, “I think of this like a rock band. Can you get something cool from getting five guitarists all on stage at once? Absolutely. But do any of the guitars provide the thump of the bass or the rhythm of drums? Probably not.” Tasting some blends and single varietals with Ian from California 🇺🇸 in vineyards @antiyal_family_winery (pic is Garnacha 🐮)@santaritawinesus @williamfevre and @conchaytoro 🍷🍽🔥🙌💥❤️🇨🇱 #ridedevuelta #rdvwinetours #sommelier #sommlife #majorandminorgrapes #blends #singlevarietals #cofermentation #climatechange #tasting #wine #vino #vinho #vin #greatpeople #tourism #chile #organic #biodynamic #sustainable #winelover #travel #chile #chileanwine #winestagram #instawine #igers #igstyle @hostalforestalsantiago (en Maipo Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxm4zR5nSqt/?igshid=h5wpzsg4u0rg
“Yarrow as the lungs, breathing in cosmic influences, chamomile as the stomach, making sure the mix of elements within the pile and soil are digested and processed correctly, stinging nettle as the liver, it’s influence being to cleanse, oak bark as the brain, reining in excess; dandelion as the inner body or self of the pile, holding the other energies and the influences within the pile together; and the Valerian as the blood, bringing warmth, STIMULATING LIFE.” - I ❤️ biodynamics!
