Popped into Dynamic Vines today and was lucky enough to find they were pouring the 2022s from Emidio Pepe. Such focus to these wines - they're just lovely

I liked the way I scored back in 1997. This was my first trip to California with friends, and we did some wine country visits. Quite pleased that I've kept my website content from almost 30 years ago live. There weren't many wine websites then.

12.01.2026 13:24 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Interesting piece. I guess the problem is supply and demand. Science creates too many PhDs - it's cheap labour. And there aren't enough jobs to soak them up. So you end up competing with very smart people for limited positions, and you have to be prepared to move frequently early career.
