Good Morning.  I will check back later.  I hope it clears up soon. 

[puppycanducruise]

Checking in.

I'll check back later.  Have a nice morning everyone.

Weird.  Well we hope everyone has a great Sunday.  We are on day three of a mulching project.  If it doesn’t kill us we will be stronger 💪.

Sorry Rich!

 

I am heading out for an early morning hike, so at the risk of being a bit premature, I am going to post about today’s wine. I will check back later.

And Bindi does not know it yet, but she is coming too!
 

We have a white wine, Dailyites! 

Le Pre Vaujour Sancerre 2018

This Sancerre from the Loire, has very good ratings. Several online distributors with prices starting at $25.00. It gave me a bit of a chase, but I did find the following......

The upper Loire Valley is known for two iconic wine growing sub-regions – Pouilly Fume, and Sancerre. Nearly all wine cultivated in these areas are from the Sauvignon Blanc variety. Crisp, appropriately acidic, and aromatic, these wines are an amazing experience on both the nose and palate. They also tend to be somewhat more expensive compared to Sauvignon Blancs from other regions - but not necessarily without good reason.
Pouilly Fume to the east of the Loire river, and Sancerre to the west, each region's terroir imparts slightly different characteristics to their respective wines. Mostly unoaked, these wines have amazing structure with perfumy notes of grapefruit and gooseberry with a slight note of honey. Wines from the Pouilly Fume tend to be a little more full-bodied than their Sancerre counterparts. These wines pair amazingly well with nearly all kinds of seafood and salad greens with citrus or vinegar based dressings. The classic pairing of Sancerre with grilled goat cheese is quite possibly the best thing to put in one's mouth.

Somewhat collectable, a good vintage of Upper Noire white can shelve for up to ten years; although, that could be pushing it. It is suggested you drink them in the 4-6 year age range.

Good morning everyone. I will check back later on this dreary Sunday.

I wonder if it was the drink of the day.

I thought the same Roy.

 

Thanks Rich for the Daily. Extra work for you today.

 

If anyone missed last night's post from Denise, look at the wreath she and David placed in honor of KK.

 

Anyway, all "Cat's" appreciated every day. Especially my sister Cat! I do not care for weeds of any kind and they don't deserve a day to themselves.

I love Turkey but not in a skillet and I have had the wine of the day. It is a crisp and clear wine, would go great with turkey!!

 

Prayers and Cheers 

[travelingbums]

Hope they get this fixed.....its a sign😀

 

Be safe everyone.

I didn't post the actual content because I didn't want this thread to become locked. Thanks to those who posted the parts.

Good morning, well that's a different kind of Daily!  I wonder if it was the, and I'm paraphrasing here, appreciating the weeds day which could be construed as appreciating something that one inhales, rather than rips from the ground?  Of course, it could be the drink of the day as well, but I'm sure we've had worse on these boards!

 

Loved the wreath photos from yesterday; so touching.   

 

See y'all later - Happy Palm Sunday from the "frozen tundra".

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

THANK YOU

This was bound to happen sooner or later because your posts about ships' positions, food and beverages are so outrageously controversial.

[rafinmd]

Today's sunrise is from my first combination of cruises and the first time I did a live thread on Cruise Critic.  It was Crystal Symphony Los Angeles to Sydney followed by a Queen Victoria World Cruise segment Bangkok to Dubai.  On March 28, 2010, Queen Victoria was at sea from Phuket to Cochin:
