Scotch Primer



In this video, I state a portion of the legal definition of Scotch. Scotch is a whiskey made in Scotland that has been aged in cask for at least three years. Single Malt Scotch is made exclusively from malted barley at a single distillery. I also give an overview of the four broadest scotch regions: Lowland, Highland, Speyside, and Island.

The Brandywine Creek in Wilmington

Image
This is a photo of the Washington Street bridge and the Brandywine Creek in downtown Wilmington Delaware. I went down to the creek to shoot a youtube video, and I was successful in that but I did realize that I cannot just go and wing these walk and talks. I need to come up with a plan and then execute it I only managed to get a 2:45 video out of a hour long walk and at least 20 mins of raw footage. I am starting to get better at the filming portion of the skill but I still need to pause more between expressed ideas I talk at about the right speed maybe I could get a hair faster, but I need to figure out how to have a coherent topic and perhaps even a structure to the discussion. Hopefully, by this time next year an hour long walk will make at least a ten minute video.

Whoa Ulcerative Colitis post!

So yeah I got hospitalized again (last time was three years ago) for my Ulcerative Colitis in November which isn't how I want to spend a week in the busiest time of year for the liquor industry. I started to have my flare up when my parents came to visit, in October and I barely kept it together for the month that it took me to check all the boxes to get admitted to the hospital. Though at least now I know how it needs to proceed in case this ever happens again. The moment I start to think that it is a real flare up I need to start making appointments with the GI doctor and not think that if I control my diet I can get back to something like normalcy. I ended up on a new biological medication remicade which is shockingly expensive but thankfully I have real cadillac insurance through work so I am okay with the fact that each dose of my medication is twenty thousand dollars and I need six doses a year, hopefully with the repeal of the ACA I won't end up on a plan with a lif

German Riesling

Image
German Riesling is my favorite white wine, I will always have a spot in my heart for white burgundy but I can afford to drink much more prestigious vineyard sites from more prestigious winemakers. That and that an off dry lower alcohol wine is conducive to getting up earlier in the morning and having a life outside of work (I close the liquor store I work at). In this video I talk about the german ripeness classifications that appear on wine bottles. There are two broad categories (qualitatswein, and pradikatswein) qualitatswein is wine where sugar can be added to the unfermented grape juice to increase potential alcohol, and pradikatswein cannot have added sugar. There are great examples from both categories of wine.
