Well at least I thought I might have injured my back but really it was just a pulled muscle and a few trips to a physical therapist they taught me a couple of stretches that really helped with the back pain and now I feel a hell of a lot better, plus I also learned a few occupational safety things, when I am doing inventory at the store I need to remember to work on both sides of my body, I lifted 50 pound boxes of wine on the left side of my body for four hours in a row and hey my left side hurt for two weeks, shocker, I also need to work on the right side, if I had used both sides evenly I doubt I would have hurt myself.
This is a video I took at biddle point, it took about half hour to film, most of it was waiting for something to happen. It also proved to me that to get this shot I really need a camera more sophisticated than a galaxy note 4 cell phone to get a nice video of the sunset.
Which neatly brings me to the desire portion of the title, I would love a decent point and shoot, and a drone and a computer that is powerful enough to edit video. I think that is at least three years of presents at the very least, especially with my sister's wedding coming up in two seasons.
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...
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.
This is my very quick video that gives a rundown of the major styles of Valpolicella wine: Amarone, Ripasso, and plain Valpolicella. It is nice to get back into recording YouTube videos and I am going to try and get at least another couple up this week and hopefully make accompaning blog posts like this one for each of those videos. I really like Valpolicella as a versatile red wine from Italy with a fuller less acidic wine than Chianti these wines do very well with rich tomato based food and also can stand up to steaks and other wines that you want a rich food bodied wine to go along with. Tart cherries dominate in the nose and palette, they are all full bodied wines but the Amarone can be described very easily as giant. The appasimento process that Amarone uses to dry the grapes before vinification results in a wine with a coating mouth-feel and high alcohol. The style is still evolving and examples from the 60s 70s will be different then bottles from the 80s and 90s and those ...
