Most dangerous white wine yet

Posted on November 20, 2021 by Roger Harmston Posted in Terroir Leave a comment

This is the most dangerous wine the Goddess of Wine has recommended.  It’s so subtle – lovely and dry.   You just keep taking sips, and soon, the bottle is gone.


Intensely floral, fruity flavours. Great structure and a long mineral finish. 


Grecanico and Pinot Grigio…. and from Sicily and Organic.  What more could you ask for?  


I’m wondering if it gets better if you speak Sicilian to it.


Definitely worth a trip to the north eastern regions of the Island.


Serve it nicely chilled.  


You have been warned ..

The bad news is my toddler dumped my husband’s large water bottle all over the couch and himself. The good news is now he’s had his bath


I told my toddler he was so cute I could just eat him up and now he’s bringing me snacks from the kitchen so I’m not hungry.


My kids’ friends’ mom always has some exciting craft for them to do when they go to her house. When my kids’ friends are over, I just sit on the couch and occasionally call out “does anyone want chips?”

My toddler just slapped me with one glove. She may not know what it means but I’m a woman of honour. We duel at dawn.


Nobody prepared me for how loudly babies sleep


10 said she doesn’t like my coffee breath, but she’d rather deal with that than my “decaf personality,” I think she’s figured out marriage.


“Daddy, are you going to pick me up from Art Club or do I have to ride the bus that smells like bare feet and underwear?” and other ways 11 y/o’s communicate with their parents.


i feel a little slimmer after a week of eating mostly goldfish crackers, clementines, fig newtons and string cheese…i’m calling this the toddler diet


Me: You can pick between Superman or Spiderman. 3yo: I pick Batman!


My kids ran out of corks for art projects so I ordered a case of wine,

I feel this is my moment to shine
told my kids to build a fort to get them off their iPads, so now they’re in the fort, watching their iPads

Breathtaking. Fearless. Brave!

Watson is full of ideas

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Roger Harmston Posted in Terroir Leave a comment

1118 pages of ambitious and stimulating facts and ideas, but not as absorbing as the tomes by fJames Burke (The Day the Universe Changed and Connections).

According to one reviewer, this is an overview of human intellectual development.  At times, I’m wondering how intelligent some of the development is.  But, I do agree that it is as much a response to changes in the natural environment- such as shifts in climate and the appearance of new diseases – as from internal dynamism.


This is the third time I’m worked my way through it.  I’ve found it more enlightening each time.


Be prepared to make extended sitting reading this one.  You’ll get caught up on something and keep reading.
