#spirits

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Worked in the #garden, returning the #spirits to the soil with the promise & coming expectation of new plants soon/next month. Remaining chilis, nubby zucchini and tomatoes are all picked and old growth stripped out. I even clipped some of the beautiful red velvet yarrow and put it on my altar asking #Hekate to bless my household, protect trans people & stop the proverbial bleeding all thinking modern people are feeling.

It’s worth amplifying this point further. That’s >$ 1 billion of US exports that’s just blocked completely not just subject to tariffs.

Ontario’s liquor control authority has almost unequaled market power globally. It’s a monopsony - sole buyer.

LCBO is large enough to have contracted the entire production of significant wine producers in France and elsewhere.

This action, especially taken in concert with the liquor control authorities in other provinces, will be profound.

LCBC and SAQ (BC and Quebec) are also receiving similar direction for the next two largest provinces.

While the Mexican response so far is primarily counter tariffs, those may also have an impact on brands of US alcohol imports that are price sensitive.

Not far from our house and something eerie about this stretch of marsh. Located on an empty stretch of the road, you can almost hear spirits calling to you and especially on a rather gray November day. I once wrote a short story after visiting this area for the first time, about a mysterious little girl I thought I saw waving to me from the window of an abandoned house.

Giving this another share because there's good stuff in there - e.g. tasting notes and buying links for #rum and #whisky bottles that will *not* cost stupid money - and this will all disappear behind a paywall in a short while 👇🥃

The Glass · Luxury spirits (and some cheaper bottles too)By Anthony Gladman

Hi, who dis?

I have migrated over to epicure.social to hang out with fellow food and drink types, so here's my #Introduction again.

I'm a #DrinksWriter from #London.

My book #GinATastingCourse will be published in September 2023.

I write about #Beer, #Cider, #Spirits and #Cocktails. (Sometimes with a #Travel or #Sustainability angle.)

I mainly post about #Booze but also sometimes #Coding — I like to automate my boring admin using #Python and #ObsidianMD.

I also post about #Writing and particularly #NonFiction, and what it's like living the #WritingLife.
