Gemin 2021 Valdobbiadene Dry Millesimato Rive di Guia Madre Paola
Nothing says party like a wicked prosecco; go superiore or go home. Lemon drop, peach and ripe pear stuff the pungent aromatics to the brim, with flowers in the background. While round, sweetish attack carries with it concentrated flavors, tangy acidity provides vibrancy and balance, with emphasis on balance. Versatile enough to take on both the heat poolside or the heat in Malaysian cuisine. Vino expert extraordinaire Ian d'Agata simply adores it.
Little did I realize that this is NOT the same stuff Pecco Bagnaia sprays on MotoGP™ podium! — ★★★½

Gli ipopensanti
Non c’è pace neppure al bar.
A una cliente dubbiosa su un vino, il titolare ha risposto piccato che “la marca è la migliore di tutte, lo ha detto l’Intelligenza Artificiale”.
Non conoscevamo – maledetta ignoranza – le doti di sommelier della scatola magica, ma ci ha colpito la fede cieca nel giudizio di un apparato tecnologico.
Viene in mente un’ espressione attribuita a Agostino di Ippona: Roma locuta, causa finita.
La questione (del Prosecco…) è risolta da un’autorità assoluta, inappellabile. Una macchina oggetto di culto, anzi di fede.
L’Intelligenza Artificiale dirime ogni dibattito dall’alto di una potenza, di un’aura di infallibilità superiore a ogni oracolo o divinità.
La tecnica si divinizza e intanto esenta dal pensiero, dal giudizio, dall’onere di ragionare o risolvere autonomamente problemi.
Siamo diventati ipopensanti.

Weihnachtsfeier - a Politico drabble
Christmas cocktails and a replica of the Nuremberg christmas market are the perfect setting for you, Namjoon and Yoongi to get freaky with the gingerbread.
Pairing: Yoongi x f! reader, Namjoon x f! reader
Word count: 2k
Rating: 18+
Warnings: Sex, swearing, alcohol, implied drug use, sleeping with your boss(es)
Min Yoongi swears a lot, and you thank your lucky stars that you’ve never imagined him swearing in a sexual context, because it’s so hot there’s a steady gush of wet between your legs as he groans profanity, face right above your bare cunt.
He dips his head, and at the first brush of his lips against you, your thighs spread even more, involuntary.
You cry out as his tongue begins to lick at you, lift your head to watch him as he invades your cunt with his mouth like he’s trying to make a home for himself there.
Fuck, the way he’s making you feel, right now, he can live between your legs for the rest of his life, if that’s what he wants.
He pockets his tongue in his cheek temporarily, licks out the side of his mouth like he loves the taste of you, and he’s so fucking hot you could come just watching him.
Kim Namjoon’s hand slips down over the curve of your belly, parts your folds so that Yoongi can lap directly at your clit, and you reach down, one hand on Namjoon’s muscled forearm, the other carding through Yoongi’s dark hair.
‘Fuh—- uck,’ you cry, your hips dancing under the onslaught of Yoongi’s talented tongue on your clit.
You’re so aroused you can barely see, pulses of pleasure travelling from your core, heating a fire in your belly, making your thighs tremble under Yoongi’s and Namjoon’s strong grip.
They’ve gripped a thigh each, holding you apart, still, as you writhe in pleasure.
Namjoon leans down, kisses over the curve of your breast, tugs your blouse down.
He admires your bare breast for a heated moment before he lowers his head and kisses your nipple.
He swirls his tongue around you, hot, warm, and you feel the pull of suction as he sucks, a hot jolt of pleasure straight to your core.
‘Fuck!’
You come hard, loud, crying your pleasure, heedless because you know the situation room is entirely soundproof.
No one at this Christmas party will have any idea that you just had the best orgasm of your life with Min Yoongi’s mouth on your cunt and Kim Namjoon sucking on your tits.
***
Two hours earlier
You come to the office Christmas party every year, and every year, you do the same thing.
Frontload the Christmas cocktail du jour and the cheap prosecco because it’s always more tolerable the less sober you are.
Avoid all the boring fuckers from Treasury who seem to think Christmas gives them a free pass to act even more douchey than they do all year round.
Steal a tray from the kitchen and fill it with food to bring to Min Yoongi, your direct superior, and Kim Namjoon, the Assistant Secretary of State, and your boss, because they always get hungry when they’re high.
Last year, for the first time, Yoongi had presented you with a keycard for the situation room after the shenanigans of the previous year, when he and Namjoon had got so trashed they couldn’t even trust themselves to open the door and get the tray of food you’d laid outside.
You pick up two more chicken potpies and handful of gingerbread, eye your tray critically, and decide you have enough.
You head to the lifts and hit the button. The lift doors close, taking you away from the beautifully decorated fifth floor, where the main party is being held and the place has been painstakingly and delightfully decorated to resemble a German Christmas market, to the decidedly less festive basement.
You stop just outside the situation room, check to see if anyone else is around.
You’re about to tap your card to enter when the door opens, and your very tall and very sexy boss smiles down at you.
You wonder why he looks so different, and it all clicks into place as he reaches for the tray.
His shirt’s more than halfway unbuttoned, and you’ve never seen his bare chest before.
The tray passes into his grasp, but he’s still holding your arm.
The heat emanating from his skin licks through you like a flame.
‘Hey,’ he says. ‘Want to come in?’
***
Yoongi’s sprawled across two chairs, one foot on the round table, the other propped against the backrest of the other chair, manspreading in the way he always does when he has the room.
He doesn’t always do it with just his boxer briefs on, though, that’s new.
He’s eating his way through one of the potpies, devouring it like he hasn’t eaten all day, and thinking back, you haven’t seen him eat anything today apart from the twelve cups of coffee he drank between 6am and midnight.
‘Potpies taste almost as good as your pussy,’ Yoongi announces, and you’d be embarrassed if it weren’t for Namjoon licking gingerbread crumbs off your bare breasts.
‘Thanks,’ you say, dry, stifling a moan as Namjoon licks over your peaked nipples.
‘Shit,’ says Namjoon. ‘Look.’
He’s balanced a gingerbread man on his cock, and you’re impressed by two things.
One, that he’s this hard again after he just came all over your face.
Two, that the gingerbread man even fits over his girth.
Then you realise he’s snapped both legs off to make it fit.
The whole thing strikes you as hilarious.
You roll off the conference table, knees sinking into the plush carpet, and kiss the head of his cock.
‘I can do that too,’ sulks Yoongi.
‘I’m not blowing him just because he can balance gingerbread on his cock,’ you feel the need to explain.
Namjoon smirks down at you. ‘It’s because you like my dick, isn’t it? I see you looking at it all the time.’
Yoongi walks over, shedding his briefs.
‘You like mine too, don’t you?’
You look back and forth between the two naked cocks on display, and say, in your sweetest voice, ‘Why do I have to choose?’
‘Shit, that’s my girl,’ Yoongi says, sounding so proud you laugh. ‘Come sit on my lap.’
Yoongi seats himself, helps you climb into his lap, parts your cheeks so he can watch as you lower yourself on his cock.
In front of you, Namjoon’s leaning against the conference table, big hand curled around his fully erect cock, dimple popped deep in his cheek as watches you opening your mouth for him.
Yoongi grips your hips, one big hand on each side, thumbs pressing into your lower back.
‘Shit, look at the way my hands fit on you,’ he marvels.
You move your hips as you lick a stripe along Namjoon’s cock, and Yoongi flexes inside you.
‘Stay still,’ Yoongi murmurs to you, lips brushing the bare skin of your back.
To Namjoon, he says, ‘Fuck, she’s tighter than fucking Han Kisung’s grip on his contacts in defense.’
‘Yeah,’ agrees Namjoon, stroking a hand over the nape of your neck as you bob up and down on his cock. ‘This is way better than the time you poached that 50 mil from justice.’
Yoongi lets out a half groan, half laugh as you tighten around him.
‘Fuck the barrister strike,’ he grunts.
‘Shut up,’ you complain, ‘both of you shut up.’
‘Sorry,’ come two simultaneous voices.
Namjoon grips your shoulder, reaches round your front to cup your breast, thumb rolling over your nipple.
‘You gonna take this load? All of it?’ he asks, voice husky, low.
You can’t answer, not with your mouth full of him, but he isn’t waiting for one anyway.
Your grip is tight around the base of his cock as he grunts and releases hot cum down your throat. You swallow, his head still lodged deep, and he groans.
A moment later, he pulls out with a gasp, helps Yoongi lift you onto the conference table.
Yoongi tugs your thighs down to bring your ass flush with the edge of the table, wraps a strong forearm around your thighs, and enters you again.
You moan as he moves, deep, sure strokes the way he’s learned tonight that you like.
Namjoon says, sounding admiring, ‘Damn, Yoon —-‘ as Yoongi fucks into you, and you want to tell him to shut up again but the heat’s coiling low in your belly, and on a hard thrust you’re coming, crying out into Yoongi’s mouth.
‘Shit, feels so good,’ slurs Yoongi, face pressed against your neck.
He’s sloppy as he pulls out, ropes of cum streaking onto your skin.
You have the vaguest impression of being held, of someone’s shirt being used to clean you, but it’s been a long fucking day, and you’re out.
***
One hour earlier
You’re watching, torn between horrified and amused, as Namjoon does hip thrusts on the top of the situation room conference table, Santa hat hanging skewiff on his head.
On the other side of the room, Yoongi’s watching idly, hands loosely curled around a fifth of whiskey and an empty glass.
With a start, you realise he’s not watching Namjoon, but you.
He gives you a half-smile, and you find yourself walking over to him.
‘Can I have a drink?’ you ask, bold.
Yoongi looks up at you.
‘I’ll get you any drink you like,’ he says. ‘But you should get out of here. I don’t want us to corrupt you.’
His eyes are dark, serious.
‘You can’t corrupt me,’ you tell him.
‘Can’t I?’ Yoongi laughs dryly. He looks at the hand you’ve placed on his forearm.
‘It scares me how much I want to try.’
‘You’re all talk —-‘ you scoff.
You take a step, and he widens his stance so you can sit in his lap.
Yoongi places a hand on your hip to pull you closer. You can feel the heat of his hand through the thin silk of your dress.
‘Are you sure about this?’ he asks.
You put your hand to his cheek.
‘But wait, aren’t I supposed to bail you and Namjoon out if things get out of control?’ you ask, worried.
Yoongi leans his face into your hand.
‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.’
He leans close, and his lips meet yours in a kiss.
***
You swipe your badge to enter the office the Monday after the Christmas party.
You’d sobered up in your own bedroom, a glass of water and a hangover cure beside the bed, Yoongi’s tuxedo jacket over your shoulders.
You haven’t heard from Namjoon or Yoongi yet.
You spot the flowers the moment you step in the door, a huge bouquet of blush peonies arranged artfully on your desk.
You’re admiring them when you hear throat clearing from behind you.
‘Namjoon has a meeting with the secretary of defense this morning,’ says Yoongi.
You turn to see him holding out a cup of coffee to you.
‘I have the briefing notes, I’ll send them over,’ you reply, accepting the coffee.
‘You said you liked peonies,’ Yoongi says.
‘I do,’ you say.
‘They were Yoongi’s idea, but I picked them out,’ Namjoon says, and you realise he’s just entered the room.
You look at each of them, fully dressed and not a gingerbread man in sight.
‘Thank you for the flowers,’ you tell them.
‘Thank you for the party,’ Namjoon tells you.
‘It was really something,’ you say.
Yoongi nods. ‘It really fucking was.’
‘Shall we get back to work?’ you ask.
As if on cue, Yoongi’s phone rings. ‘Fucking slimefuck,’ he mutters. ‘Kim Seokjin’s on his way in.’
After they’ve left, you take a moment to bury your nose in the bouquet.
And then, you get back to work.

Steak: don’t hate me. Medium-well/well done! I like my meat very dead and almost burnt. Just the opposite of fish…
Milk: cow (skim or lactose free). But in my defense, I’m Italian. There aren’t really viable alternatives here…
Alcohol: vodka. Straight. Or I love a good Bellini (peach juice and Prosecco).
Warm drinks: hot chocolate is the superior warm drink. But also vanilla black tea, or mint tea…

heres another wine fact. sorry. theres this hungarian winegrowing region called tokaji (pronounce it TOE-kai). the wine from here is a big goddamn deal, its referenced in the hungarian national anthem. in the 18th century this was the "king of wines," literally the cream of the crop, what all the aristocrats drank, etc. all your louis and fredricks of the big ruling families loved this shit. and its sooooooo sweet. its dessert wine. the modern disdain for sweet wines in serious wine circles is not this eternal thing, its the current trend.
i think of it like how europe treated heavily spiced food, how it was a luxury until the commoners got regular access to spices, then all of a sudden it was more refined to eat simple, lightly-seasoned food that "highlighted good quality ingredients" or whatever. i dont know if wine trends followed that exact trajectory? in europe and elsewhere theres always been a really strong tradition of peasant winemaking with whatevers around. i dont need to tell this to most of you, you can just point to your cultures traditional wines and spirits and whatever. but i definitely know that today Wine People like to disdain sweet wines that have strong mass appeal (even as they themselves enjoy an occasional Nice moscato) and let me tell you. they are doing that at least partially to feel better than and separate from the peasants.
i wrote this post mostly with the intention of giving you pointers to annoy people who have really bought into the superiority of it all, if you say most of that stuff around someone who likes wine but doesnt care about the prestige, theyre just gonna get nerdy and try to teach you something. youre all a bunch of nerds here, you know how to deal with an infodump just fine. alcohol is something you need to be careful about. if you cant have it, you probably know that, and that deserves respect and accommodation. but if you can, its got a long history as something that helps people meet and connect and engage with history and tradition. genuinely, the wine youre drinking and enjoying is a good wine, full stop. crack open the cupcake prosecco.
#its slivovitz for me. awful stuff. in my family we shoot it like tequila#anyway used to work somewhere that kept a couple bottles of grand tokaj on hand#i think it was $64 for a small bottle#far from the most expensive thign in the store but considerable#occasionally id just stare at it and think. what if i buy it and just drink it all myself in one night. in a silky purple robe#and feel like the secret jewess mistress of a hungarian count#im gonna do it one day

ERI MY BELOVED bestie what have you been working on recently? anything new? twiyor or royai? or something else entirely?? i'd love to hear about them all 🥰
EMMA MY BELOVED HOW HAVE YOU BEEN??? HAS IT REALLY BEEN A YEAR??? SINCE WE MET??? (that memory fills me with infinite fondness every time it drifts back it was such a lovely time walking through the gardens and the cobblestoned streets with you :'')
i gotta confess i've been working on a lot of twiyor recently but i'm still trying to figure out their dynamic tbh because they're a lot--for lack of a better word--healthier than royai, LMAO. there are some similarities but overall i think they're less codependent with a far superior chance of a happy ending AHAHAHA. that said i haven't forgotten about the college au and am hoping to get back to it when work slows down :) anyway i blame @nightofnyx8 entirely for my new sxf/twiyor hyperfixation... we're so normal about this... totally!
i also have been trying to compile some of my poetry into an anthology--my tentative title is womanhood, love, and the cooks, but we'll see how it all goes!! (imposter syndrome do be rough)
other than that i've mostly just been besieged by work tbh :( it was going fine until this case exploded in my face and now i'm gonna have to go on a business trip overseas next month to interview some witnesses, which is exciting (my first!) but also terribly nerve-wrecking... ANYHOW fingers crossed i cannot wait for Christmas ehehehe hopefully i get to squeeze in another holiday eoy :)
(i want to hear all about what you're working on!!! sending you all my love as always and i hope you're well and chilling with some good prosecco tonight <3)

🍾 Casa dei Farive Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut 🍷 біле ігристе брют 🇮🇹 Тревізо (Венето) 🍇 Глера 🏺 ---- 📊 3,9
Незрозумів оцінку, вищу за Мосаттіну. По-моєму, дуже нагадує сітро з радянських автоматів. Якщо серйозно, то нормальне, якісне, жодних неприємних присмаків. Але аж настільки збалансоване, що смак не запам'ятовується. Вдруге навряд купуватиму.

Gemin 2022 Valdobbiadene Brut Nature Sui Lieviti Cuvèe Cavalier Alvio Stramare
Clean in delivery with fine perlage, or cloudy with a chance of bread (depending on which half of the bottle you get). Because undisgorged: sui lieviti or col fondo in local tongue. Green apple and lemon feel chiseled and crisper on a bone-dry canvas, minerality shines and bubbles persist longer than its cheery conventional stablemates. Linear, textured with subtle yeasty imprint. Groovy C-word vibes here. — ★★★½
Appellation: Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Region: Valdobbiadene, Veneto, Italy Subzone: Valdobbiadene Cépage: Glera with a small percentage of Verdiso Abv: 11.5% Production: 2,700 Élevage: Re-fermentated in bottle without disgorgement, released one year after harvest Distributor: Cuore Italiano

The Tips for Selecting the Perfect Materials for Wine Cellar Doors
A wine cellar is designed to preserve wines. It can retain the quality of your collection for years to come. The cellar doors are integral components doors. Whether you work on one of the contemporary storage units or custom built wine cellars for homes, you have to find the right material. Experts say that doors are critical to maintaining prized wines.
This guide explains the list of materials for doors and lets you create an optimal storage environment. Let’s begin with it-
First Comes First – Why the Right Materials Matter?
Don’t let anything leak and maintain a consistent storage temperature level
Ensure humidity level prevents corks from drying out
Helps in achieving superior insulation that reduces energy consumption
Aids in resisting moisture and prevents mould formation
Next – Top Materials for Wine Cellar Doors
The right door should keep your cellar sealed and also contribute to the aesthetic appeal. It should complement the overall design of the space. The available types include-
Solid Wood Doors
When the aim is to achieve a classic look, opt for solid wood doors. They are actually made from mahogany, oak, or walnut. They offer excellent insulation.
Glass Doors
Want to give a more modern look to your cellar? From double-paned to single-paned glass doors, you can opt for glass with an inert gas layer. This helps enhance insulation.
Metal Doors
Steel or wrought iron can be used for the construction of cellar doors. They are quite effective at maintaining the required storage condition inside the storage unit.
Next – Sealing and Insulation
Irrespective of the material, airtight sealing is a must for doors. To achieve the same, you have to consider the following tips.
Install Weather-stripping
High-quality weather stripping can prevent air leakage. You can also go for rubber seals for long-lasting protection.
Opt for Thermal Insulation
If the door is not solid wood, this type of insulation can be used. This also improves energy efficiency within your cellar.
Tips for Maintenance and Longevity
Check for wear and tear periodically
Inspect for peeling paint or air leaks from time to time. This sign can help you identify the underlying problem if any.
Reseal as needed
Reseal the door with insulation if required to maintain ideal moisture resistance.
Clean doors regularly
Use non-abrasive cleaners to prevent uncertainties when cleaning doors
Additional Tips to Remember
Note that a cellar is a place where you can preserve a range of drinks. It is just like an investment in your property. When you want to be a good wine collector and ensure that you can enjoy drinks even at midnight, you have to work on the construction work better. From the cellar design to material, give importance to every single aspect and build stunning storage.
Final Words
When constructing a cellar, the materials you choose can make a big difference. As you are looking for the most suitable material for wine room doors, you must avoid picking anything randomly as discussed above. To create the ideal environment for wine preservation, consider this guide. Suppose you still need guidance before working on a custom built wine cellars project, appoint an expert and discuss how you can fulfil your requirements.
From finalising high-quality materials to sealing items for doors, professionals can help you with your entire project. This is how you can guarantee that your cellar is perfectly functional for your prized collection. So, don’t jump in the construction work! Register for expert assistance!

Gay flight attendant won his job back after getting fired for a hook-up
A flight attendant in Australia has won his bid to be reinstated after he was sacked over claims that he was hungover, a drink of prosecco at a Virgin Australia Christmas party, and a Grindr hook-up. Anything less, according to a commissioner who arbitrated the case, would be “harsh.” Related Flight attendant goes viral with his lip-sync safety announcement With tens of thousands of likes and over a half million views, the lip-syncing safety specialist is winning over frequent fliers with his unique style. The Australian “hostie,” Dylan Macnish, filed an unfair dismissal claim against Virgin Australia with the country’s Fair Work Commission after his dismissal last year over the incidents. Global perspectives delivered right to your inbox Our newsletter bridges borders to bring you LGBTQ+ news from around the world. Subscribe to our Newsletter today In September, a colleague ratted the young man out, alleging he had come to work “hungover,” an allegation he denied in a meeting with his boss. Months later, Macnish was sacked after he was witnessed drinking a glass of prosecco at a Virgin Christmas party before a flight. The drink, however, was imbibed seven-and-a-half hours before the red-eye shift, which was only scheduled after the party concluded and at the company’s request. Knowing the cut-off rule for alcohol consumption is eight hours, Macnish sought permission for the shift with superiors and breathalyzed himself. “Mr. Macnish was not in the situation of someone who was rostered on to work, had too many drinks at the Virgin Christmas Party, and then proceeded to turn up to work,” Commissioner Pearl Lim wrote in her judgment. But there was more. Virgin cited a second incident as reason for Macnish’s dismissal: a Grindr hook-up he initiated at a Virgin hotel ahead of a flight that he had rescheduled. Macnish told the commission that the night before, he had been on a flight when a passenger required medical attention; the incident included the ill individual urinating on Macnish while another crew member searched for an oxygen mask. Macnish sought a later flight because he was stressed out following the medical emergency and couldn’t sleep. In order to relax, Macnish got on Grindr and found a hook-up, whom he invited to the hotel. “He met with an individual outside his hotel, and they went up to Mr. Macnish’s hotel room,” the commissioner wrote in her finding. “They had sex and Mr. Macnish fell asleep shortly after.” Virgin, however, believed Macnish pushed his flight because he had been out late and was intoxicated and cruising for sex. They investigated, requesting CCTV footage of Macnish’s hotel hallway and his hotel room swipe card record. Following the Christmas party incident a few weeks later, Virgin fired him. The Fair Work commissioner found Virgin Airways’ approach to Macnish’s case “mystifying.” In her judgment, Commissioner Lin wrote that the airline “conceded that if a straight, married man were to have sex with his wife after accessing fatigue, then it would ‘probably not’ be any of Virgin’s business to comment on it.” They also acknowledged, she wrote, that “it is common practice for Virgin employees who are on layovers or who are working in other cities away from their home base to use dating apps when they are staying in Virgin-provided accommodation.” “There is nothing wrong with using dating apps for casual sex,” Lin found. “What happens between informed and consenting adults is their own business, unless it breaches a lawful and reasonable workplace policy.” Macnish was ordered to be reinstated to work within 21 days. He made no claims for backpay and none was ordered. http://dlvr.it/TCMKfh
