Battery Park, Historic Old New Castle

This is a little video I took of the Battery Park area of Historic Old New Castle. This is actually two trips on the same day once for lunch and again at sunset to go for a walk, this is a about a fifteen minute drive from our front door without traffic. Someday I would like to go before sunrise, I think as we get further into late summer and early fall I will have the opportunity to go take that video.

A paved walkway stretches off a few miles to the south along the Delaware River ending before Army Creek, it branches off to a few other off-road bike and walking trails in southern New Castle County.

Turkey Point Lighthouse

On a Rare Friday off, August fifth, 2016, Christine and I went on a road trip to Turkey Point Lighthouse at the end of Elk Neck in Maryland. To access the lighthouse you have to drive to the end of state route 272 in Maryland which is about an hour drive (forty miles) away from Wilmington, Delaware. This is a great location to do drone filming and the walk is pretty easy and just under a mile, they even have two chemical toilets out by the lighthouse. We had to hustle to get to the lighthouse with usable sun, I am looking forward to going back in the fall, hopefully by then I will take some video and also not have to rush so much.

When I get more video equipment I thin...

Left Bank Bordeaux

Image
In this little video I talk about the left bank of Bordeaux. Medoc and Haut-Medoc contain some of the most desirable wines in the world and is the spiritual home of Cabernet Sauvignon, though many of the wines blend in Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The greatest of these wines can live in a well stored bottle for fifty years or more. The wines of Bordeaux have great examples in all of the various retail price points so just because mere mortals can't afford a bottle of Chateau Margaux doesn't mean you shouldn't try the ten twenty and thirty dollar bottles from the region.

Bordeaux in a nutshell.

Image
Bordeaux is the classic French homeland of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Some of the most expensive and longest lasting wines in the world exist here. Many perfect scores from wine reviewers as well, Robert Parker's championing of the 1982 left bank vintage made his career. In this video I give an overview of the three major regions of Bordeaux. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, are the principal grapes of the Graves and Pessac-Leognan regions. Saturens makes a famous dessert wine with Semillon and the process of noble rot.
