Just responding to your wine post!

Generally, if you hate tannin and oak you have to research producers and specific vintages before buying red wine. Key words to look for would be: Half-cluster, used/old oak, little to no skin contact. Beaujolais is usually aged in stainless steel or used/old oak since it meant to be drank soon after bottling (also a bit of bubbly never hurts!). You might have luck in Northern Rhone or Merlot. If you want to try out white wines, I recommend checking out Alsace, Germany, and Austria. They usually like more clean and pure grape expression.

I love that you want to be helpful, and I do see that you're a somm and clearly know what you're talking about, but I really do know my palate pretty well. I don't want to be rude, but this is very.... well it feels like you're mansplaining. I work in the wine industry myself and I feel like me talking about carbonic maceration in the post you're responding to maybe could've been a clue that I'm not exactly a novice wine drinker.

I'm willing to discuss wine, but not if you're going to assume I know nothing. I mean. Really. "If you want to try out white wines" is just a bit much, isn't it?

As far as your suggestions: I'm really, REALLY tannin sensitive. The Es Okay red from Rootdown is legitimately the second red I've ever been able to see myself having more than a few sips of - the first was penfolds rwt bin 798 shiraz. The 2017 vintage, I believe. Even that was a bit much on the tannins for me. Sweet wine is my speciality and I'm okay with it staying that way!

Let us be brutally honest with ourselves and with eachother for a moment. If he weren't obese you motherfuckers would be capable of percieving evrart claires sexy sexy moral ambiguity and complex charms

#i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE #my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it. #if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy #despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital #if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners #but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure #on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser #and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of *all* the poor of martinaise #opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union #though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals #to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel #still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it #but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful #thats cus hes not conventionally attractive #cus he is *every bit* as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk

Interrupting my hiatus to say I am alive and well! Currently working on my last statistics assignment and an essay on Le Spleen de Paris. I can’t wait to finish all my uni bits so that I could peacefully fly off to Florence for a few weeks to do my painting with ancient techniques course 🎨🌷

#The Florence trip is by far the most impulsive thing I’ve ever organised 👁️👁️ When I’ve had a glass of wine keep my card away from me pls #Savings are overrated groceries are overrated I can’t WAIT to properly learn how to paint (after what will be a penniless April 🫠) #studyblr #Cottagecore #Light academia #Study aesthetic #Langblr #Studyspo #Study inspiration #studyblr community #study motivation

as we enter the start of a semester and the dreaded Hour of Making Friends us upon us... if ur ever at a loss for what to say in one of those weird social situations where you only vaguely-know people, one of my favorite questions to ask is "what is your favorite food crime." a food crime is like the food combination that you love that other people find revolting. press them to take it further than pineapple on pizza, that's rote. food crimes is a good topic that has many benefits as it turns out all people are degenerates and also it will give you some cool ideas to try out later in the privacy of your own degenerate kitchen

the other good thing to ask is "okay but has anyone here ever been someplace haunted" bc it turns out if you ask most people directly they don't believe in ghosts, but many people are like "oh yeah i lived in a haunted house. ghosts aren't real tho"

#my food crime is that i regularly make a “pasta and tuna” situation that has somehow gotten even more evil and degenerate over time. #it is a ''white wine reduction'' (it's just white wine and garlic powder & seasoning) #and tuna from a can. #and plain pasta. #if i have the spoons i will actually chop garlic for it but this tends to be my comfort food for a REALLY bad day #bc its super easy to make: #boil pasta. drain. put into bowl for later. into same pot u used for pasta. #put tuna (with oil/water from can). let fry a little for like 2-3 min. put in whatever amount of wine. season to taste. #the tuna will get a little crisp on it which is nice. important side note: #this began as a Bolognese sauce. #and one day i had to sub for tuna. i know. not ideal. i cried about it too. #somehow over time it is now its own little evil thing. i would never make someone else eat it. it is beautiful. #but yeah i don't even stir the pasta in afterwards i just slap pasta into serving bowl #slap this ''''''sauce'''''''' on top #molto bene #(i really can cook fairly well btw. this is a food crime. not a suggestion of skill or ability) #(i LOVE baking but when i cook for myself. the autism is obvious. bc i just don't understand the point of most of the steps) #(.... i can just eat the deli meat out of the bag. it is protein. i don't even have to like it. i just have to eat enough calories.) #(also i used to cook MUCH more before this apartment which is so small that i can stretch my arms out and overreach the counter length.) #(.... i'm 5.2. so.)

After reading about your sensitivity to tannins, I’m curious if you are a fan of any orange wines? If so, do you have any that you’ve enjoyed recently? On the flipside, do you enjoy pét nats at all?

They tend to be the wines I enjoy most frequently and consistently, and I’m always eager for recommendations (especially from someone with a knowledgable palette who also has autism-related food sensitivities)!

If this is a “none of the above” scenario, could you share any recent recommendations/faves of wines that you have enjoyed? Thank you in advance! 🧡

I like orange wines, but I really dislike petnats lol 😅 they're just so... sour

For orange wines: a recent favorite is the Pullus pinot grigio! It's made in Starjeska, Slovenia and has this lovely almost salmon/rose gold color. Pear, melon (closer to honeydew than cantaloupe), and a bit floral on the nose. On the palate you get a good dose of minerality from the skin contact, some citrus and bright acidity balanced out by an almost oily energy. The pearl comes through as well in a really nice way! Slovenia has pretty strict guidelines for integrated farming, so the actual growing process is pretty hands off and very environmentally friendly (ZERO irrigation, which as someone from a very dry climate, still throws me off). It's a solid 8.5/10 for me, which is about as high as I ever give a dry wine lol

As for petnats.... I can't say I would drink it again, but the one I've liked most of the few I've tried was the Kobal Bajta rumeni muscat! Very yeasty, it's quite cloudy in the glass and the citrus elements are balanced out quite well with the creamy taste that the wild yeasts lend! Great for people who enjoy petnats, definitely, just not quite in my prefered palate

shout to that one Colress' Experiment card wherein the illustration shows everything you'd expect from that name—Colress, electronics, science stuff—except he's also eating a hamburger in the gayest way possible

I just know Crocodile brought on Mihawk because he thought he would be sensible, calm and collected, low maintenance. He thought it was going to be them against the idiocy that is buggy. And it is to a degree.

What he failed to calculate is that Mihawk is just as bad as buggy.

Worse even because at least Buggy can be bullied into doing paperwork. I just know everyday Crocodile is astonished by the absolute commitment Mihawk has to his aesthetic. Walks into his tent just to find that he has somehow converted this circus ass tent into a mid century gothic castle. Somehow carpeted the whole thing end to end is burning more that a 100 candles for “mood lighting”, has a fully open fire pit and a sewing machine in the corner.

Like Crocodiles essentially a mafioso he can appreciate the wanting nice things. Still won’t prepare him for the day Mihawk’s brings him a wine budget, a tailoring budget and an embroidery budget all painstakingly itemized.

Won’t prepare him for having to replace every single wine glass because buggy drank out of one and he can’t break up a set but refuses to use a cup that buggy’s put his mouth on.

He’s starting to think that the real reason the Warlords were disbanded was because they simply could not afford to pay for Mihawk’s upkeep anymore and decided they’d rather pay in cadet lives than see one more wine budget.

He is essentially being held hostage, in his own guild, by the whims of a bored middle aged vampire, and a fucking clown.

#Mihawk is a man of whims. #crocodile is crushing screaming pulling out his hair. #I know Mihawk’s government expenses half the reason Sengoku retired. he probably can’t even look at wine anymore #he really thought he was about to get a sensible business partner #and wound up with the most unhinged hedonistic petty man in the New World. #fully have you ever seen this man do paperwork in his life? #Crocodile is trying to run a business while his two partners steadily try to run it into the ground with every frivolous expense #atleast Mihawk brings muscle and the occasional good idea when he’s so inclined. #hawkeye mihawk #cross guild is geniunly the funniest thing to ever happen in the history of media #dracule mihawk #sir crocodile #buggy the clown #buggy pirates #cross guild #throwing thoughts to the void #one piece #op
