OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

Is amphora hugging a thing? If it isn’t, it should be: they are very huggable. I had the pleasure earlier today at a wine tasting.

Catherine Marshall’s nomadic garagista days are long behind her. She and her stunning wines finally have a permanent home at CM WINES. We tasted our way through the beautiful range, with all its artistry, purity and liquid joy. I even enjoyed the Riesling, which was actually quite pleasant on the nose (I did not believe it possible).

I think one should start every week with a wine tasting. No matter what else the rest of the week throws at you, you will be able to handle it with a smile on your face. At least that is how I feel today.

We returned to work after lunch, and despite the indulgence, I was very productive for the rest of the afternoon and the to-do list for the start of the week does not look so scary any longer.

What does scare me is that antivaxxers are allowed to get away with (potential) murder.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local. Get vaccinated, please. Live.
