The chefs use their talents to tell a story in the same way. And much like our chefs behind the cuisines of our menus, no details are overlooked in the creation of our wine list. We aim to source wines that evoke a response, open the mind, and com- plete the dining experience. For the month of January, the wine team has selected the following standout rec- ommendations. They each come from smaller, lesser-known wineries or regions. We hope to elicit a curiosity in you and spark your imagination like they do for us. Cheers! Champagne 0065 Agrapart, “7 Crus” Brut, NV $155 Fourth generation vigneron Pascal Agrapart runs this historic family domaine in the village of Avize. He is humble, soft-spoken, and fiercely dedicated to expressing the terroirs of his beloved village in his Champagnes. “Les 7 Crus” which is a mix of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir from 1er and Grand Cru vineyards (from seven villages surrounding Avize) non-vintage bottling that beautifully synthesizes the pure and opulent fruit of top qual- ity chardonnay vineyards in the Côte de Blancs with a racy, structured minerality that gives the wine superb length and cut. 0063 La Caravelle, Brut Rose, NV $110 André and Rita Jammet carry on a proud family tradition of creating proprietary wines, they honor the spirit of their former La Caravelle New York restaurant, which was founded in 1960. This beautiful salmon pink Champagne uses 40% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir and 30% pinot meunier with the addition of elegant red wines from well-known appellations such as Aÿ and Bouzy. With a floral and red berry bou- quet, the rosé evokes hints of cherry almond, pomegranate and fennel. White 2208 Bienaime, Jura, France, 2017, Jura 2015 $ 155 This is 100% Savagnin from 2 parcels that are located in the best area of the Jura wine region. The wine is full bodied, delicately perfumed, showing golden apples and fresh chamomile upfront with roasted hazelnuts on the finish. 2050 Domaine de l’Arlot, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos de l’Arlot” Blanc 2017 $260 From one of the most prestigious houses in Nuits-Saint-Georges. This wine has a well defined bouquet of orange pith and yellow flowers with touches of wild nettles and patisserie, brisk acidity and race toward the finish. This is a classy offering. 0806 A.D. Beckham “Amphora” Pinot Gris Rose, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2016 $ 95 Established just over a decade ago, this husband and wife team fell into wine making perhaps by chance. In recent years, they have started experimenting with techniques new to them, including this amphora project. Bright and tangy but certainly a more bold example of rose. Red 6016 C. d’Or et de Gueules “Les Cimels”, Grenache/Syrah, Costieres de Nimes, FR 2014 $ 55 A winery off the beaten track, down in the southern reaches of the Rhone Valley. This supple blend has notes of blackberry and plum accented by anise and green herbs. 6038 Giulia Negri Nebbiolo, Langhe “Pian delle Mole” Piedmont, Italy 2017 $ 80 In the heart of the Serradenari cru of La Morra—the highest point in the Barolo zone, Giulia Negri passionately pursues her goal of crafting Barolo with a Burgundian sensibility. The elevation, coupled with a complex mosaic of soils unique to this part of the Langhe, sets the stage for Giulia to create Barolos marrying delicate floral aromas and elegant fruit with a deep mineral foundation. 5046 Bodegas Sierra Cantabria, Rioja Gran Reserva, Spain 2008 $90 Balanced and pretty with beautiful aromas of dark berries, citrus and stones, full body, firm tannins and a long, racy finish.

If not, please accept our apologies and we will suggest an alternative. We will also endeavour to supply the vintage indicated, however, if this changes, we will inform you. We will provide the updated vintage on our list. WELCOME Welcome to the new St John’s College Wine List for 2017/18. The wines have been chosen for their individual style and quality. The Catering Team here at St John’s College tasted many of the new wines for the list in March 2017, to make sure they fall within our quality expectations. Some of the wines have been tasted against some of the menu items that feature in the new set of banqueting menus. We also believe that these wines give real value for money. We have also held a few wine tastings with the students of the College, which is always important, as they then know the wines when selecting for their functions. In February 2017 we hosted a wine suppliers’ lunch to discuss new wines, regions, vintages, the wine trade in general and new wines for the list. Many of the suppliers have given us great help and support throughout the year. I visited some vineyards in Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Bordeaux, Rioja and Alsace in the last year. This year we have added a little Bordeaux section to the wine list. Please try some of the more unusual wines, they are good quality and very well made.

    A Star Is Torn—Molecular Analysis Divides the Mediterranean Population of Poli's Stellate Barnacle, Chthamalus Stellatus

    A star is torn—molecular analysis divides the Mediterranean population of Poli's stellate barnacle, Chthamalus stellatus (Cirripedia, Chtamalidae) Yaron Tikochinski1, Sharon Tamir1, Noa Simon-Blecher2, Uzi Motro3 and Yair Achituv2 1 Faculty of Marine Sciences, Ruppin Academic Center, Mikhmoret, Israel 2 The Mina & Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel 3 Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, and the Federmann Center for the Study of Rationality, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel ABSTRACT Poli's stellate barnacle, Chthamalus stellatus Poli, populates the Mediterranean Sea, the North-Eastern Atlantic coasts, and the offshore Eastern Atlantic islands. Previous studies have found apparent genetic differences between the Atlantic and the Mediter- ranean populations of C. stellatus, suggesting possible geological and oceanographic explanations for these differences. We have studied the genetic diversity of 14 popu- lations spanning from the Eastern Atlantic to the Eastern Mediterranean, using two nuclear genes sequences revealing a total of 63 polymorphic sites. Both genotype- based, haplotype-based and the novel SNP distribution population-based methods have found that these populations represent a geographic cline along the west to east localities. The differences in SNP distribution among populations further separates a major western cluster into two smaller clusters, the Eastern Atlantic and the Western Mediterranean. It also separates the major eastern cluster into two smaller clusters, the Mid-Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean. We suggested here environmental conditions like surface currents, water salinity and temperature as probable factors that Submitted 30 March 2021 have formed the population structure. We demonstrate that C. stellatus is a suitable Accepted 30 June 2021 model organism for studying how geological events and hydrographic conditions shape Published 21 July 2021 the fauna in the Mediterranean Sea.

Ditch Street Paola, Malta PLA 1234; email: [email protected] 224, Camilleri Court, Flt 5, Il-Marlozz Street, Mellieha, Malta MLH 4100; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT During the last decade, the authors visited several stacks (Faraglione) which are satellites islets around the main circum-sicilian islands. Most of these stacks are inaccessible to the general public due to their geographical and topographical positions/inclinations. Literature is often scarce or non-existent. The current work provides a preliminary data on the floral diversity recorded during the brief expeditions between the years 2008–2018. All of these islets were observed once, so this study does not reflect all of the possibly existing species of these islets. The current study caters the Faraglione di Colombara of Ustica, Isola dei Conigli, Scoglio del Sacramento and Scoglio di Faraglione of Lampedusa, Faraglione di Tracino and Faraglione di Ficaria/indietro l’isola of Pantelleria. Another islet is the Scoglio dello Zio Gennaro, Taormina, Sicily. KEY WORDS Vegetation; satellites islets; circum-sicilian islands. Received 16.10.2020; accepted 28.12.2020; published online 15.02.2021 INTRODUCTION The chances of accessing these islets and stacks proved crucial, as their flora has been thoroughly Satellite islets offer a unique opportunities in observed. Flat islets were easy to climb and to walk order to record new sites for species outside their around their perimeters, but the stacks were mostly normal range, as well possible new species or sub- difficult, as most parts of the stack are vertical.

PANTALEONI1'2, Davide BADAN01'2 1Sezione di Patologia vegetate ed Entomologia agraria, Dipartimento di Agraria, Universita degli Studi di Sassari, Italy 2Istituto per lo Studio degli Ecosistemi, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Sassari, Italy Abstract A new species of antlion, Myrmeleon punicanus n. sp. (Neuroptera Myrmeleontidae), is described from Sicily and Pantelleria. The new taxon belongs to the formicarius-group thanks to the absence of pilula axillaris in the male hind wings, the characteristics of the male genitalia and the ecological traits. Moreover, the validity of the new species is confirmed by a DNA based phylogenetic reconstruction in which it is compared with closely related taxa. A preliminary description of the third instar larva of M puni­ canus n. sp. is also given. Its habitat is the Mediterranean shrub land in which the larvae build pit-traps near shelters. Due to its ecological requirements a possible endangered status cannot be ruled out because of the anthropogenic habitat fragmentation. Key words: Neuropterida, Italy, Mediterranean, Myrmeleonformicarius-group. Among the Western Palearctic species of Myrmeleon same point and in a further one 15 larvae were found Linnaeus 1767 there is a group characterised by the ab­ that we received alive. Moreover, during another short sence of pilula axillaris in the hind wing of the male. trip in September 2010, the same author (RAP) con­ Three known species belong to this group in the Medi­ ducted special research in order to find the taxon in suit­ terranean area: the Siberian-European Myrmeleon for­ able habitats in Sicily.

Here at The Wine Story Club, our philosophy is that where wine is concerned “small is beautiful” in the sense that wines lovingly produced in small quantities by families who have often worked there for generations are more likely to have individual character, identity and soul than wine produced as a brand in big volumes in an impersonal factory environment. Our wine selection is also based on finding wines which are really typical of their region to help you appreciate the diversity of the world of wine in its full glory. We focus on natural ways of production (Organic, Natural & Biodynamic) because we fervently believe that wine is a natural product which deserves respect and which should be preserved as much possible from the artificial influences of chemicals and additives such as sulphur and pesticides.
  • Notes from the Sicilian Archipelago

    Notes from the Sicilian Archipelago

    Baldacchino: Sicily/Lingering Colonial Outlier - ISLAND REFLECTIONS - LINGERING COLONIAL OUTLIER YET MINIATURE CONTINENT: NOTES FROM THE SICILIAN ARCHIPELAGO GODFREY BALDACCHINO University of Malta/ University of Prince Edward Island <[email protected]> Abstract The fortunes of the wider Mediterranean Sea, the world’s largest, have never rested on Sicily, its largest island. A stubbornly peripheral region, and possibly the world’s most bridgeable island, Sicily has been largely neglected within the field of Island Studies. The physically largest island with the largest population in the region, and housing Europe’s most active volcano, Sicily has moved from being a hinterland for warring factions (Sparta/Athens, Carthage/Rome), to a more centrist stage befitting its location, although still remaining a political outlier in the modern era. Unlike many even smaller islands with smaller populations, however, Sicily has remained an appendage to a larger, and largely dysfunctional, state. The Maltese islands are part of ‘the Sicilian archipelago’, and it was a whim of Charles V of Spain that politically cut off Malta from this node in the 1520s, but not culturally. This article will review some of the multiple representations of this island, and its changing fortunes. Keywords Archipelago, heterotopias, Island Studies, Sicily, Italy, Malta, Mediterranean, periphery Introduction In both its physical and its human setting, the Mediterranean crossroads, the Mediterranean patchwork, leaves a coherent image in the mind as a system in which everything mingles and is then recast to form a new, original unity (Braudel, 1985: 5). On a clear wintry day, one can easily see the snow-capped top of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, from various vantage points on the Maltese islands; and the lights along the southern Sicilian coast are also readily visible from the northern hills of Malta during clear nights (see Figure 1).

    LOCKED UP AND EXCLUDED Informal and illegal detention in Spain, Greece, Italy and Germany LOCKED UP AND EXCLUDED 1 INFORMAL AND ILLEGAL DETENTION IN SPAIN, GREECE, ITALY AND GERMANY INTRODUCTION This report provides an overview of the use of administrative detention of non- nationals in four members-states of the European Union (EU). While three of those (Italy, Spain, Greece) are points of first arrival for people trying to reach Europe, the fourth one (Germany) is considered a destination country, which people reach by crossing borders internal to the Schengen Area. The way each of these four countries governs migration, including through the use of administrative detention, depends on their position within what has been called the EU border regime – namely the set of rules, laws, structures, agencies and practices that have been developed by EU insti- tutions over the last 30 years to govern migration. As has long been argued by Migreurop, this border regime is premised on an unequal sharing of control practices and duties within and outside the EU territory. On the one hand, members-states closer to the external borders of the Union have been endowed with the role of buffer zones against migrants on behalf of core western and northern EU members-states (especially through the Dublin Convention that states that the country responsible for assessing an asylum claim in the EU is the first country of Migreurop is a network of associations, activists and researchers, with a presence in entry, thereby forcing members-states sharing a border with the Schengen Area to around twenty countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
