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. There is a small path that leads off the western end of the lighthouse's meadow this leads down to the waters edge and back to the main trail, there are maybe three or four well secluded spots that were occupied by couples as Christine and I walked back to the car having lost the light for Cell Phone photography. When I get more video equipment I thin...

super tuscan?

What is a super Tuscan wine? The quickest answer that I can give that is also correct is: A wine that is made in tuscany that doesn’t conform to the DOC or DOCG rules for Chianti or Chianti Classico. To go into more detail about the wines that make up the broader Super Tuscan style you have to know the history of Chianti. Until 1996 Chianti had to have at least 5-10% of white grapes in the wine. Currently Chianti and Chianti Classico must be at least 80% Sangiovese and up to 20% allowed red grapes. Any wine made in the Chianti region that doesn’t meet the grape composition that makes up the definition of Chianti can be a super tuscan. In the contemporary marketplace super tuscan has two meanings: one, the revered producers that played a role in changing the rules surrounding Chianti in the eighties and nineties bringing the wine into the modern era; and, two, any wine produced in the IGT toscana. Sassicia is an example of a classic wine first produced in 1968 with a blen...
