Fascinating, a bit slow in places, but if you are a wine lover or interested in the history of wine, this book may be right for you. Following the wine tasting that changed the world of wine, this looks at the history of California wine and what happened when they beat the best French wines in France in 1976. I savored this one! #Doublespin #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I got 49%.
YES to Cheesecake, cherry cheesecake, key lime pie
NO NO NO NO to anything with jello. That had to be one of the worst parts of my childhood and my married life (my mother-in-law, lovely woman, made many things in jello). 🤮

peaKnit Oh my, my aunt made a jello dessert that was actually spectacular. I am going to try it. My lovely grandma made lime jello with carrots though, so it is not without its problems here. lol. 5mo

AmyG @peaKnit Vegetables in jello…NOOOOOOO 5mo

TheBookHippie The childhood jello nightmares have returned… like orange jello with shredded carrots 😵‍💫 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie My god, I was thinking the same thing! 🥴 5mo

dabbe My grandma actually made lime jello and put LETTUCE in it! 🤢 5mo

AmyG @dabbe Yeah, I have seen shredded lettuce in Jello. 🤢 5mo

peaKnit @dabbe Lettuce?! Wow, now that is next level. My gram was in TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) I got to tag along, and that where the carrots in jello was discussed. These ladies were a riot! 5mo

dabbe @peaKnit There must be some 1970s Jello cookbook somewhere where all of these concoctions were devised. 😂 5mo

I'll Drink to That: Beaujolais and the French Peasant Who Made It the World's Most Popular Wine | Rudolph Chelminski

#day1 of my October Art challenge.

The word is Gouleyant (like a light, sweet and flavourful wine).

As I am very underprepared for this, I have taken heavy inspiration from the internet for this one. Mea culpa.
