Marqués de Riscal Reserva is one of the most famous wines in Spain, due to its long history, consistent high quality and also for the many literary references it has inspired over the years. They have been voted 2nd best Winery in the World and 1st in Europe.
Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon Blanc 100% organic is a wine made with the minimum possible intervention and with total respect for the environment and the ecosystem surrounding us. Its fresh image represents a wine born of the land, of its roots, a sustainable, fine quality wine.
In 1974 Marqués de Riscal successfully introduced the French Sauvignon Blanc variety, originally from the Loire Valley region, in Rueda. Nowadays the bodega has 70 hectares of its own vineyards producing this grape and it is one of the varieties authorised by the Rueda Designation of Origin. .
Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon Blanc is the fruit of this innovating spirit from the 1970s which the bodega maintains as a reference today, immersed in this commitment to organic cultivation methods.
This one is definitely for the Triumvirate.

Are you a happily married person or did you just see the photo your husband took of you.
Husband: So you’re just gonna sit there staring at your phone? (Looks up from phone) Maybe later, I’m not hungry.
It appears my wife’s favorite time to give me the silent treatment is when I’m right.
Me to my husband: Get away, you’re gross. Me to my cat: Of course you can sneeze in my face and rub your nose on my glasses.
couples don’t need couples therapy before they get married. they need to go to IKEA.
My wife said she’s in a bad mood but it’s not my fault so I’m taking this as a win.
90% of marriage is moving a new piece of furniture around the house all day until you find the perfect spot for it which is back at the store.
Recently I came across an old article about elephants Shirley and Jenny being reunited and being set free in a large nature preserve. I wondered how the two enjoyed their last years. And this is where I ended up

From the Forward:
“Plenty of people talk about farm-to-table dining these days. But on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands of the Salish Sea, it’s truly a way of life. And why not, when there is so much abundance to choose from? From Port Hardy to the Saanich Peninsula, the rain-soaked west coast to the sun-drenched Gulf Islands, farmers grow everything from truffles to tea, passionfruit to Pinot Noir, water buffalo to the most delicately briny oysters.”

what your email sign-off says about you:
“thanks!” you want to be loved “thanks,” you’re not mad you’re just disappointed “best,” you are classy and professional and probably hot “cheers!” you’re either cool or British “regards,” you hate me “sincerely,” you’re an intern.
email culture is switching an exclamation point between your greeting and your first sentence because you don’t want to come on too strong by exclaiming twice in a row.
Everyone’s always like you should use fewer exclamation marks I’m like why not use more? We’re in a pandemic go ahead and send a work email that’s like “helllllllo!!!!!!!!”
When I sign off an email with “regards” it means I regard you as my foe; one or the other of us will have to go.
When I sign off an email with “Love Karen” sans comma, it is not a typo. it is an order.
When I sign an email “Yours” it’s not a term of endearment— it means this email is now yours I’m done with it get it away from me.
Instead of “all my best” i’m gonna start signing off on my emails with “some best” because i gotta keep the rest of the best for myself.
