Sounds like a great wine with a summer meal, or even just sipping in the evening. We will need to sip this one quickly!😱 #94 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017 Light straw yellow. Ample and intense aromas, with hints of peach and almond. This wine is fresh and harmonious. Pair with grilled fish, shellfish, poultry or cold dishes. WS90 Wine Spectator Tarragon and thyme notes lace flavors of green melon and lime granita in this juicy, light- to medium-bodied white. Fresh, balanced and minerally, with a spiced finish. Drink now through 2020. For those not familiar with Greco di Tufo, it's one of my favorite Italian wines. The grape itself is said to have been brought to southern Italy by the Greeks who colonized the area 2500 years ago, and perhaps brought viticulture to Italy. (The same Greeks who built amazing temples at Paestum, near Salerno):' The "Tufo" part of the name refers to a town called Tufo, which is itself named for the "tuff" or "tufa" (as the Romans called it) stone, which is a volcanic stone especially prominent around Pompeii. Growing this grape in tuff gives it a lovely mineral-y flavor. Some of these old wines were in danger of being forgotten, but are now being revived. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you and I would pronounce the name of this brewery much different than the English speakers here . ( This is not a beer or cider with an explosion , but a double "O" which means a long "O" , same as in Oosterdam ! ) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't checked for a while but here, Trader Joe's (not sure if you guys have that up there), used to carry Oranjeboom Edited September 7, 2020 by Copper10-8 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismomx5 Posted September 7, 2020 #34 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Happy Labour Day! Thanks for the update, the Care list, the drink and wine information and all of the pictures! Quote is true, especially if you were to use today's interest rates. 😮 Might as well keep the money under the mattress. Not a zucchini fan, and I think I'm making meatloaf for dinner today. We had that same storm through the night @puppycanducruise and it promises to be a cool, dull, trying-to-rain day. I'm not looking forward to the Alberta Clipper that @ger_77 is sending our way! For those who enjoy a Hurricane and country music.... Have a blessed day. Wear your mask! Be well! Stay safe! Be kind! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's low is predicted to be -4C (24.5F) We've already brought a number of our flowering annuals into our glassed-in deck for safekeeping; it looks like a florist's shop! Ah, the joys of living on the "frozen tundra"! LOL Excellent reminder of why I live in the great southwest desert. I can tolerate the hot weather better and a lot longer than I can tolerate cold weather. But I do thank you for allowing a small portion of your "Alberta Clipper" to drop down into the southwest as it is supposed to bring our temperature down from high of114F to 95F and low from 90+F to 70+F making live much more comfortable for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted September 7, 2020 #38 Share Posted September 7, 2020 DH worked for a major brewery here in the U.S. for about 30 years so he always enjoyed a beer here and there. Now he drinks more wine than beer, but when traveling likes to try a few new brews here and there. This one is from a place in Antwerp called Belgian Beers and Brews. They give away samples if you're interested. For our Labor Day dinner we have decided to eat the classics, grilled burgers, corn on the cob and my own potato salad recipe. And wine. 😉 If we eat early enough we could splurge on some beer and popcorn tonight. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted September 7, 2020 #43 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Good morning all, The zucchini rolls sound interesting. Will explore that idea with some of our last Japanese eggplants later this week. But tonight it’s bbq pork ribs with peach sauce, with a fennel/ apple coleslaw and the other BBQ fixings ( corn on cob, potato salad, etc.) Dessert is what remains of the passion fruit gelato I made yesterday with lemon cake (to celebrate a neighbor’s engagement). Will definitely make that gelato again - oh my gosh. I keep reminding DH that some of these newer foods I’ve been exposed to on HAL trips and am now exploring how to make are part of the investment of prior travel- ROI. While we aren’t very close to any of the current fires we’re getting cloud cover and ash. The sunlight and sky has a yellow orange errie tinge but no smell of smoke. Having said that, no trail ride for me today. Edited September 7, 2020 by TiogaCruiser 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't in the house (unless there's company) or inside the car, only among others, stores, gas stations, drive throughs, Yogurtland 😉 etc. Policies seem to vary. I wear mine at the drive through although the sign on the door at the McDonalds where I get coffee says a mask is required to enter but if you don't have one your alternative is the drive through. When walking I either don't wear it or have it around my neck and will put it into position when I get within perhaps 50 feet of someone else. Indoors everywhere except my house or my private office in the fire house. Since the mask protects others more than me I consider it a sign of respect, and compliance is quite high in Maryland.
