To create the impression that wine was produced in ancient times by a “Palestinian people” who were not Jewish is an act of identity erasure. To retroactively create an Arab people called “Palestinians” long engaged with growing grapes in the hills of Judea and Samaria while excluding the Jews engaging in that very same activity is a crime of identity theft.

Asimov then writes that Khoury “was one of the very few winemakers working in the region before the October 7 attacks,” and informs his readers that “winemaking is not widely practiced today in the West Bank.” There are over two dozen wineries active in Judea and Samaria. Many of them, such as Shiloh Winery, Psagot Winery, and Tura Winery produce wines that have garnered international recognition. Various online sites, like KosherWines.com, list over 50 different wines made from the region’s grapes. Millions of bottles have been produced, with many going for export.

However, as those wineries are owned by Jews, Asimov totally ignores them. Even in passing, they are not even mentioned by the newspaper of record. The reader, drunk on the propaganda, is left with an erroneous and biased impression

Before Israel was established, during the mandate period and even before, if “Palestine wines” were talked about, the reference was to Jewish wines. In 1848, Yitchak Shorr established a winery in Jerusalem, the first one documented in modern times. In 1882, French Baron Edmond de Rothschild assisted in the establishment of the Carmel Winery which still produces wine.

Asimov facilitated the grafting of ancient Jewish winemaking onto a theft by self-declared “Palestinians” of that aspect of Jewish history, falsely claiming indigeneity. Not only do Asimov and his publication peddle false assertions but, given both their statures, who would or could deny their truth? This is deceptive emplotment.

Incidentally, olive trees are an instrument of ethnic erasure, too. In an article on political ecology, “Olive Oil and the Tastes of Palestine,” Omar Qassis acrobatically avoids the Jewish demographic and horticulture character of the Land of Israel. In his very brief mention of the history of olive tree cultivation here, Cassis leaps from the early Bronze Age to the mid-19th-century Ottoman Tanzimat reforms; no Jews.

Numerous mentions of olive oil in the Tanach, oil for anointing kings and priests, and oil for the rekindling of the candelabrum which marks the upcoming Hanukkah holiday are wiped clean.

While Asimov’s uncle’s name [writer Isaac Asimov] is linked to science fiction, Eric has produced unworthy political anti-Zionist propaganda.

La semaine dernière, j'ai retrouvé mes amis Julien et Katie à Remoulins dans le Gard (Languedoc). On a visité, près de Beaucaire (dans le Languedoc sur la carte, mais en Provence par l'âme ) le Mas des Tourelles.

And the great big house in the country, which Digory had heard of all his life and never seen would now be their home; the big house with the suits of armor, stables, the kennels, the river, the park, the hot-houses, the vineries, the woods, and the mountains behind it.

It is mead bottling day but someone (me) forgot to get enough wine bottles for this 3 gallon batch, so while I scramble around town to home brew stores, here it is. What started out as a lower gravity strawberry hibiscus vanilla mead, now also has blueberries bc after an early taste, the strawberries weren’t very flavorful. And after the initial fermentation, it didn’t have enough oomph, so I added more honey. So it’s a Frankenstein mead, which is honestly kind of how I do everything over here. But besides the mead, can you see my grape leaf/Greek key planters in the background? They’re huge and I think I want to try to grow some grapes in them. Can you grow grapes in planters? And is Texas too hot for grapes? Tell me your grape growing experiences, oenophile witches.

This is what culture is. You are nurturing a culture, a living reality when you farm and reuse your seeds, or create living cheeses or sourdough.

“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

10th December 2024

Everyone had already arrived and was waiting in anticipation when Blue and Pink arrived with piles of gamers crackers, Christmas tree decorations, party poppers, paper parcels, mince pies, festive cakes (with carrot meeples on top) and GOAT Award voting forms.  Food quickly followed along with a volley of noise as people tried to pull their crackers and party poppers first so the contents didn’t…

La semaine dernière, j'ai retrouvé mes amis Julien et Katie à Remoulins dans le Gard (Languedoc). On a visité, près de Beaucaire (dans le Languedoc sur la carte, mais en Provence par l'âme ) le Mas des Tourelles.

Le Mas des Tourelles est surtout connu pour sa production selon les procédés antiques (on voit ici l'énorme pressoir, le fouloir sur le côté, des dolia ...) de vins romains avec les recettes de l'époque : le Mulsum aux épices, le Turriculae au fenugrec et à l'eau de mer et le Carenum au parfum de coing... Delicium !

as a wine/viticulture major and also a guy with Big Fish Special Interest there’s so much to process here LMFAOO

-crushed gravel and other earth tones is actually a pretty common taste note! it’s not that it tastes directly like licking rocks- it’s more of like ,,. the scent of wet slate, or river stones! it can come from the aging process and typically isn’t very prominent unless you’re really looking for it lol. you don’t usually sip a white wine and go that’s conk creat babey!! unless you’re gay and studying wine sensory evaluation. which i am. but that’s probably an outlier

-if you ordered a white wine on the rocks the bartender would probably give u a weird look, but any winemaker, sommelier, or most enology professionals would probably go fish up an Atlantic sturgeon specifically to whack you with

-sturgeons are so fucking cool can i have an atlantic sturgeon too

doing research on white wine for a thing and can we back up for a second on that last one???
