The Champenoise are at odds over foil necks. Are they important to Champagne's image, or should we let them go in the name of sustainability? (And do you agree with @rubywelk and I that paper tabs just look better?) Listen to Ep. 152 of @The4Top : https://t.co/bnhCfCJlo9

We want your input! Large-format wine bottles have some wild names. Is it time to rename them? Any suggestions? Let us know in the comments, and check out Ep. 147 of @The4Top: https://t.co/F9oEqFLmwC

We all have that one winemaker we absolutely adore. Would you put them in office if you had the chance? Listen to our latest ep of @The4Top here: https://t.co/F9oEqFKOH4

Major longitudinal studies have shown that moderate wine drinkers live 12 years longer, and have significantly lower risks of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Can you imagine a pill or supplement that could promise the same results? https://t.co/qllyl4MZiV

Places like Abruzzo and The Okanagan have lost nearly all of their crop due to extreme weather. What can winegrowers do about weather extremes? Listen to our latest ep of @The4Top here: https://t.co/F9oEqFKOH4

According to @nytimes and @WSJ, consumers are sipping less wine and micro-dosing more psilocybin, all in the name of wellness. Are you seeing people dropping (tartaric) acid and embracing shrooms? Hear more on Ep. 140 of The Four Top: https://t.co/DnBPEIvBSC

OMG, I just realized what inspired the lyric "a partridge in a pear tree." The French word for "partridge" is... say it out loud...

I just learned that contact lens blister packs (sans foil) can be recycled if you simply place them inside clear plastic bottles. The issue is sorting an item of such a small size—the bottle solves the problem. Why don't all optical dispensaries inform patients of this?

The headline you click on even though you know the story will be but a series of footnotes. https://t.co/G9yU0MID7E

A plaque on a wall fronting side-by-side houses states: “On this site in 1953, Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) completed his notorious novel, ‘Lolita.’ "

In the fertilizer discussion, why don't we hear about nitrate pollution in water sources more often?

Morrow and Umatilla counties have long faced nitrate pollution in some people’s drinking water. The federal funding aims to establish a long-term fix.

I just had reason to look up an article I wrote back in 2017. It's typically mortifying to see my own work in later years, but I do stand behind the line: "mainlining pâte and Sauternes."

With #unionization in the news—we see you, @Amazon, @Apple, @Starbucks & @NYTimes—we talk about organizing vinetenders and revisit the exclusion of #farmworkers from the #NLRA (National Labor Relations Act) in 1935. https://t.co/x7iFqLJTKR

#Portland Mayor @tedwheeler is following the lead of New York Mayor @ericadamsfornyc, calling to lower the threshold for committing the mentally ill & #unhoused. But there are no beds at the state mental hospital... #homeless #Mentalhealth #Homelessness

It would be a herculean task to accomplish what the mayor is suggesting. One that would require changing laws. And to actually work, it would also mean addressing a workforce shortage of health care...

As a frequent @Fly_STS traveler, I'm all in favor of this development! Air service to Salem would be a boon for Oregon wine country. https://t.co/AnhKp6n1hI

The Four Top is a “Three Top” this week as Martín Reyes, MW and @kcoleuncorked chat with the crypto-curious VR-visionary @daniel_petroski. In Ep. 115, we ask what Web 3.0 is, exactly, and why #wine businesses should be planning for it now. Link in bio.

The current #fleishmanisintrouble episode of the @Slate Money #podcast (with former @The4Top guest @felixsalmon) dovetails oh so nicely with our conversation about #journalism pay in our own Ep. 113. Tune into both!
