Hanging Chad

Pretty certain my first experience with this grape, and CERTAINLY my first wandering into Pennsylvania wines. Obviously, it’s going to be early-ripening fruit, and able to withstand some fairly harsh weather. Understandably, we’re all expecting some sort of Cab-Franc or Beaujolais situation, and so far, that is not terribly inaccurate. Beautiful rich deep ruby, with a purple-pink rim showing…

If you love the taste of wine, you already know wine bottles are not inexpensive. Storing them in the wrong place will not shorten their lifespan but also ruin the overall drinking experience.

Vamos parar pra pensar sobre o nosso primeiro pensamento do dia... Logo cedo na manhã seguinte, Jesus retirou-se para um lugar isolado. As multidões o procuravam por toda parte e, quando finalmente o encontraram, suplicaram que não as deixasse.  Lucas 4:42 Muito cedo pela manhã, Jesus saiu para estar sozinho. Só podia enfrentar as necessidades insistentes dos homens porque primeiro procurava a companhia de Deus. Uma vez, na Primeira Guerra Mundial, devia começar uma reunião de oficiais. Estavam todos presentes menos um – o Marechal Foch, o próprio comandante-chefe. No fim um oficial que o conhecia bem disse: “Creio que sei onde encontrá-lo.” Guiou-os a uma capela em ruínas que estava perto do quartel general, e ali, diante de um altar destroçado, o grande soldado estava ajoelhado em oração. Sabia que antes de reunir-se com os homens devia fazê-lo com Deus. Que Ele seja sempre o nosso primeiro pensamento e o motivo da nossa busca pela manhã, pois só com o Pai podemos encarar os dias e as demandas que com ele virão. Imagem: The Chosen

05-167 Fausses prophéties !

https://soundcloud.com/jlgaillard/fausses-propheties

En 1859, le célèbre chirurgien Velpeau affirmait : « l'abolition de la douleur en chirurgie est une chimère... Le couteau et la douleur sont deux mots qui, en chirurgie, doivent être associés pour toujours dans la conscience du patient ».

En 1878, après une démonstration du phonographe d’Edison, Jean Bouillaud, membre de l'Académie des sciences déclara :

« II est tout à fait impossible que les nobles organes de la phonation puissent être remplacés par le métal sans noblesse ». Edison lui-même dit en 1922 : « La manie de la radio passera. »

Foch, futur maréchal, affirma en 1911 : « Les aéroplanes sont des jouets intéressants, mais sans valeur militaire. »

Dans la publication de « The Scientific American » en 1881 :

« Le canal de Panama est désormais chose du passé. La nature en effacera bientôt les traces »

et, en 1909 : « La voiture automobile a bientôt atteint les limites de son développement ! »

Le célèbre Ernest Moch, Professeur à l'université de Vienne écrivit en 1913 : « Je ne peux pas plus accepter la théorie de la relativité que l'existence d'atomes et autres dogmes du genre. »

Lee Forest, un des génies de l'électronique disait en 1957 :

« L'homme n'atteindra jamais la lune, quels que soient les progrès scientifiques à venir. »

Tout le monde peut se tromper, dira-t-on, mais pas la Parole de Dieu.

Elle a annoncé bien des événements qui se sont accomplis, tels que les prophéties bibliques les annonçaient.

L'apôtre Pierre écrivait à juste titre :

« Et nous tenons pour d'autant plus certaine la parole prophétique, à laquelle vous faites bien de prêter attention,… » 2 Pierre 1 : 19.

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.

Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.

A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.

On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.

On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:

"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".

On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.

There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.

Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.

A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.

He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.

It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...

THIS is the reason we wear poppies.

We do not glorify war.

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.

Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

What I Learned in Canada, Two. The Tastings.

Yesterday, I started out to write a concise explanation of an epiphany I had on our July ’19 week-long trip to Vancouver Island and took almost nine months to figure out how to express it.

“Concise” went out the window within a half hour of writing it. So did my whole “Good Vibrations” intention, as I thought about and contrasted Life in America versus Life on VanIsle. The whole thing just…

All You Need To Know About The Oregon Wine Clubs

Oregon is well-known for being one of the leading producers of world-class and high-quality wines. Oregon wines club has often been in competition with their Napa Valley neighbors, but Oregon wineries have held their own in recent years and have an astounding selection of products to show for it.

Oregon is doing exciting things in the wine market; not only do they create some of the top wines in the world, but they are also branching out. Oregon wineries have covered all of the bases and provide a wide range of options to suit your taste or unique needs. They are currently the United States' fourth largest wine-producing state, trailing only California, Washington, and New York.

Oregon's viticultural lands are divided into five major growth regions:

Columbia Gorge

Columbia Valley

Snake River

Southern Oregon

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley produces the majority of Oregon's wine. Each of these growing locations has its own style, method, tradition, and overall wine flavor.

How Many Wineries Can You Find in Oregon?

Oregon has a whooping 900 wineries to brag about. These 900 wineries are spread over 21 authorized winegrowing zones in some of the world's most breathtaking environments. They also grow approximately 100 distinct varietals of grapes.

Where Are The Most Wineries In Oregon?

The Willamette Valley is the largest and has the most wineries in one portion of Oregon's 21 wine regions. This enormous wine area runs from Portland in Northern Oregon to Eugene which is over 160 miles. There are some of the top Oregon wine clubs located in this region of the state, and over 600 Oregon wineries live in The Willamette Valley.

Join Dina and Duane Barker of Lava Terrace Cellars on their journey as they explore the enchantment and beauty of their high-altitude vineyard on lava soils to pave a new route in Oregon's viticulture and winemaking history.

Lava Terrace Cellars is Bend, Oregon's sole winery that grows grapes and handcrafts wines. What started as a concept for sustainability on their five acres has genuinely blossomed into something remarkable as their best oregon wine club is garnering incredible reviews and earning six medals for two famous wine competitions. Lava Terrace Cellars currently bottles Marquette, La Crescent, and Marechal Foch with intentions to manufacture additional wines in the future.
