So, about those grapes!
Grapes are actually classified as a berry. They are berry cool.
(shout out to Strawberry Shortcake, yo!)
What’s so interesting about grapes is that only taste like grapes if they are eaten fresh or squeezed into (unfermented) grape juice at just the right time, with few exceptions.
• Fermented grapes seldom taste likes grapes (among those few exceptions are Muscat, Niagara, and Concord).
• Instead, once grapes are wine they taste like a whole variety of fruits and other things.
The chemical compounds in fermented grapes are even more complex than blood serum and taste far better (unless you’re a vampire).
Wine takes on characteristics of many different sorts of fruits, depending on the variety and where they have been cultivated. Additional taste notes happen during fermenting, refining, filtering, aging, and so on, done by the vintner (wine-maker).
Here’s a very short list of the many fruit notes (subtle tastes) that fermented grapes can offer in both sweet and dry (non sweet) types of wine.
Citrus Fruits:
lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, etc…
Pome Fruits:
Apple, pear, quince, etc….
Stone Fruits:
Peach, plum, apricot, etc….
Tropical Fruits:
Mango, pineapple, star fruit, passion fuit, papaya, etc….
This project is on hold because of the current projects I’m working on. I will update again when we move toward this happening.
3 Things today!
1. A lot is going on behind the scenes to produce a podcast.
I’ve done a bunch of reading, learning, and research.
The logo is ready (this will be revealed later…exciting stuff, stay tuned).
The intro is done, the mixing and recording software is getting figured out…kinda… sorta…
It’ll be a half a dozen weeks, probably, until so much gets figured out…recorded, edited, produced, and uploaded.
Here are some upcoming topics if you’d like to be on the show (you can phone in or we can pre-record).
I’d like to hear from you if one of these is close to your heart.
• Best ways to rest and retreat
• Suffering that produced courage (story-based)
• Finding purpose–accidentally (story-based)
• Life-giving or growth-producing rituals
• Embarrassing Moments and Vulnerability
If you want to be a sponsor of the show and feature with a product, service, ministry, book, project, or website, use the contact page to send me a message!
2. If you like what you’ve read and what happens here, consider getting my in-depth but consice weekly correspondence coming in February.
Learn about it here.
3. There are only a few more days for you to get in on the children’s book we’ve done. It’s a fantastic project and I’m excited to share it with you. Check it out here.
Though Chris is aware of the upcoming delivery, he won’t know what he’s getting until it arrives. I’m shooting for memorable, personalized delight and wonder.
My Startup that has it’s challenges…
to really know how good Superb Snail Mail is one should experience it. But a pre-customer hasn’t experienced it.
I say pre-customers optimistically…
because I have this gut feeling that with some diligence the value and “preciousness” of Superb Snail Mail will gain bona fide traction, and not merely among postal enthusiasts. In many ways this can be possible because of the power of surprise.
It’s sobering: Surprising someone runs the risk of misunderstanding…failure.
While most people like good surprises what a good surprise is varies from person to person. So, it takes some work ahead of time to do well.
What I love is that when we offer a surprise that brings delight there’s a positive payoff: A relationship is built.
TRY THIS:
Figure out how you can offer a good surprise for your team, your customer, a new friend, or someone you care about. Remember that good surprises build relationship. That means something and it builds your legacy.
How will you build relationships this week through good surprises?
