In vino veritas...

[Trius]

To my nose there's a typical note in Niagara region Cab Franc wines (varietal or blend): bell peppers. Love it. Do you get that as well?

Yes, bell peppers are typical of cab franc. That may be especially true of Niagara, but I can't honestly say I've tasted enough cab franc from other regions to speak authoritatively. But if someone/folks will supply me with a world-wide sampling, I'd be happy to do some research. 😀 :angel:

This will get you a $2000 fine and up to a year in jail in VT. Supplying alcohol to a minor is a serious offense hereabouts. More insanity from our citzen legislature.

Maybe so, but it's a wonderful shot!

But sometimes the bottle lies ... This one had been opened about 18 years ago and refilled with something that was not Chateau Lafite 57

Trius, remind me to party with you one day.

Steamer: love it. Film, speed, developer and time please.

As I was quickly scrolling down, Bob, I initially thought it was a childhood picture of you.

Pagan primitives, we Basques!

Actually it's called a "Tupiñako". After roasting a while on an oak log fire, the lamb is then cut up and finished in a huge pot (tupiña) with hot basque red peppers.Delicious. It's a pretty common site round here. I can't remember the name for the wine but the bottles have some kind of fruit in there and we drink it warmed up a little.

Actually, it looks tasty. The lamb must be wonderfully smoky. The event you photographed would have fed a few Basques, I'd say.

Btw, what does agneaux translate as? I tried a French dictionary. Perhaps I should have looked for a Basque dictionary. It is a distinct dialect, non?

This is a beautiful shot. I like the monochromatic quality, and bokeh.

Very nice shot Gabriel. The subject, selective focus, composition, colours. It's all perfect!

Also, I've always been smitten by the pre-aspheric 'lux. I really want one.

Merry X-mas to all!
