HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT NATURAL WINE? We Drink, Breathe, and Sleep Thinking About the History of the Humble Grape and Its Importance in the World
HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT NATURAL WINE? We drink, breathe, and sleep thinking about the history of the humble grape and its importance in the world. Kinda a lot of pressure for a fermented beverage, but we know Wine can handle it. We’ve gone all in on natural wine because we believe in celebrating farmers and other stewards of the land who work tirelessly to create biodiverse landscapes. Think of wine as a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. There is no official definition of what natural wine is. But we have our definition, and here’s our promise: every wine on this list is grown organically or biodynamically, free of any chemicals in the vineyard. Every wine on this list is made without any additives except sulfur, which is naturally occurring in grapes. Every wine on this list is fermented with its own living, wild yeast. And every wine on this list is made in small, or very small, amounts. It’s difficult to find fault with any of that. We love these wines and the people behind them, and we hope you do too. Corkage: $20 per 750ml not on our list, limit 2 bottles per party.

EURASIA Azerbaijan and China Sign $800 Million
EURASIA Azerbaijan and China Sign $800 Million Economic Package: The Geo-Economic Implications by Orkhan Baghirov Republished and edited for OE Watch in collaboration with the Jamestown Foundation, Eurasia Daily Monitor, Vol. 16, Issue 78, dated 29 May 2019. For the full article, see: https://jamestown.org/program/azerbaijan-and-china-sign-800-million-economic-package-the-geo-economic-implications/ OE Watch Commentary: Azerbaijan’s participation in the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which took place in Beijing on 25–28 April, proved successful for Baku, having resulted in a number of important new, non-oil-sector investment projects in the South Caucasus country. Specifically, during the Forum, Azerbaijani representatives signed 10 agreements, cumulatively worth $821 million, with Chinese companies. Based on these agreements, China National Electric Engineering Company (CNEEC) will invest $300 million in a tire factory in the Sumgayit chemical-industrial park (about 25 kilometers northwest of Baku). The investment promises to create 800 new factory jobs there and boost the plant’s production potential to 3.3 million tires per year. CNEEC will acquire a 90 percent share in the project, while the Azerbaijan Investment Company will own the remaining 10 percent. The signed business deals also include the building of a 300-hectare greenhouse complex in the Kurdamir region of Azerbaijan, the construction of agrological industrial parks in the Guba, Goychay and Khachmaz regions, an agreement on export of Azerbaijani wine to China, and the creation of the Azerbaijan Trade House in Chengdu, China. Moreover, an Asian-European telecommunication corridor will be established within the framework of the “Azerbaijan Digital Hub” initiative in order to better coordinate the annual transit of 2,5000 containers across the territory of Azerbaijan, traveling along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.

1 Medea Ivaniadze China's Activities in the South Caucasus Issue 8, 11.1
Medea Ivaniadze China’s Activities in the South Caucasus Issue 8, 11.1.2021 – 7.2.2021 The digest covers China’s political, diplomatic, economic and other activities in the South Caucasus region and relations between China and the South Caucasus countries. It relies on a wide variety of sources, including the Chinese media. It is worth noting that the Chinese media is controlled by the Communist Party of China (according to the World Press Freedom Index China is nearly at the bottom of the list and ranks 177th out of 180 countries) 11.1.2021 – 17.1.2021 US Under Secretary of State discussed Chinese threat in 5G while taking about US-Georgia 5G security MOU On January 14, in an interview with US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, Keith Krach, a journalist asked him about the meaning of the US-Georgia 5G security memorandum of understanding. Krach answered that it is a comprehensive approach to long-term data, human rights and security that builds cooperation against threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, Russia, and “other abusive countries”. Krach noted that in the 5G contest, its purpose is to use only trusted suppliers, not companies that are from countries where data protection is linked to the National Intelligence Act, as it is in China. Krach emphasized that the Chinese government obligates any Chinese company, whether it is state-owned or privately owned, to transfer data, information, technology or intellectual property to the Communist Party upon request. Krach said that 5G technology is very important for Georgia’s national security.

Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.
