So the next 'donation' isn't quite the usual, but I figured I'd mention it since it may help some people out: @codeweavers.com launched CrossOver 25 just recently, and the deal is 95% of their code gets contributed to WINE, which in turn is the core of Proton. #Linux #Proton #Wine

I remember a media crisis in the 1980s when many of my colleagues became wine traders to survive. Now I read about that photographer who tries to survive by opening a wine bar. This time it's AI destroying the jobs of creative professionals: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/15/its-happening-fast-creative-workers-and-professionals-share-their-fears-and-hopes-about-the-rise-of-ai

Perhaps we should train AI to drink wine? (sarcasmAlarm)

This Mouro Gold Label blend (the top-of-the-line from a top winery in Alentejo) has evolved well in the warm 2009 year. It now folds warmth of the year into the whole. Tannins have moderated too. A sweet edge shows tasty fruit and a bit of oak, plus some licorice.

It's always going to be a fruit-forward red, but it has surprising finesse and focus on display with its age, and with air. It drinks beautifully. Mostly Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez. 14.5%, around $80

Some Portuguese regions like Dão could use some more places to stay. Interestingly, the Amorims and their Taboadella have now been awarded the Relais & Châteaux label. Taste, hang out. Looks nice.

US wine shops and importers say Trump's threatened 200% tariff on European wines would kill demand

> President #DonaldTrump on Thursday threatened a 200% tariff on European wine, #Champagne and spirits if the European Union goes forward with a planned 50% tariff on American #whiskey. Wine sellers and importers said a tariff of that size would essentially shut down the European wine business in the U.S. https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-wine-spirits-200-alcohol-dabead2d0e0fad64dc5e6250293ef016 #tariffs #EU #wine #tradewar

As we said during Trump's first turn: So we have to drink it ourselves! We already had the same idiocy with the same man years before!
And once again: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/13/donald-trump-threatens-tariff-on-eu-wine-and-champagne

But France has alternatives: #Asia and #Canada become more and more interesting as drinking partners: https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relationships-country-and-region/exporters-stories/france-french-wine-destined-international-markets_en

#Trump threatened to enact a 200% #tariffs on European #wine, #champagne & other #alcohol beverages, the latest escalation in a brewing #TradeWar between the #US & the #EU.

Trump in a social media post on Thursday said that he would move forward w/the import duties if the EU doesn’t repeal a tax on US #whiskey, a measure put in place to retaliate against Trump’s #steel & #aluminium tariffs that went into effect on Wed.

This 30-year Tawny is bright, fresh and spicy with the familiar caramel overlay and some grip. The persistent finish is long, and the balance just doesn't get better. It's utterly delicious and dribbles fresh flavors over the palate. From Mário Braga Herdeiros, Quinta do Mourão (though son Miguel now runs the winery). A bit pricey, worth it ($150), Bar-top cork (bottled 2017).

Note that you'll more easily find the brand name "São Leonardo."
