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.

pick

3.5 Stars • "The Lost Vintage" by Ann Mah follows Kate Elliott, a sommelier studying for the Master of Wine test, who returns to her family's vineyard in Burgundy. While there, she uncovers a hidden cellar containing a cache of wine, along with belongings of an aunt she never knew existed, Hélène Marie Charpin, who was a teenager during the Nazi occupation. ⬇️

suvata The novel delves into the secrets of Kate's family history, the realities of life during World War II, and the choices people, especially women, had to make. It offers an intimate look into the wine-making process, French culture, and the impact of the past on the present. 6mo

Sideways: A Novel | Rex Pickett

Can anyone tell me why @litsy wants all of my pics to be sideways? Every time I post, my image is properly oriented as I edit but when the post is published the image is sideways. (Note, I delete the post when this happens, so you won't see it reflected in any of my posts.) Am I the only person this happens to or is this a regular consequence of using the webpage rather than the app?

everlocalwest Of course this post is properly oriented. 😕 9mo

Smrloomis Huh, this doesn‘t happen to me…weird! So you have to rotate it every time? 9mo

Sharpeipup I‘ve been wondering this too! If I crop or edit the photo, then it will post correctly. I don‘t understand! 9mo

everlocalwest @Smrloomis Sometimes they are properly oriented and sometimes they aren't. When they aren't - I just delete the post. So I have this backlog of reviews that I wanna post but don't want to post wonkily. I think my suspicion that this is a web based issue is it - but Litsy is no longer on Android. :( 9mo

everlocalwest @Sharpeipup If I edit the photo - in any way! - it deletes from the post and I don't like posting without an image so I just delete the whole post when that happens. I'm so frustrated by it!! But I'm about to review dump and just let what happens happens. 9mo

Smrloomis @everlocalwest darn! That‘s so frustrating 😡 9mo
