Lament for a sliding mind

Tonight I intend to do a side-by-side comparison of Roagna's 95 and 96 La Rocca e La Pira from half bottles. According to the BD calendar, tonight is one of those nights that one should do absolutely nothing, not even leave the house, much less drink wine. So, if they taste great, we can bury the BD calendar in a bull horn. If they taste lousy, I will feel terrible to even entertain the thought that BD may have something to do with that. This is going to drive me crazy!

How will we know if it did?

Good one! Plus it consoles me...

Nicolas, if it affects anything, I'd expect it to affect all things, especially liquids, but I'm hardly the one to answer... I could certainly see that the more spoofed something is, the less sensitive it might be to whatever...
 
The few times I've consulted the biodynamic calendar I wondered if the wine I was drinking matched up with the particular day, and then I realized that it was influencing what I thought of the wine. Luckily, I stopped making that mistake.

Whoa...meta.
 
I opened a 375 of the 1996 on Monday. I had decanted it for about 3 hours and it still didn't start coming around until about 2 hours into the dinner.

Give it as much air as possible or just bury it for another 10 years.

Root evening and tomorrow is worse. A leaf day is OK (or if entertaining a visiting Disorderly). You were forwarned.

So where are you?
 
can bd explain why i've been a cranky motherfucker all day, and why even the current chubby favorites taste taste like shit tonight? (the fatsink is looking on greedily.)

could it even add another level of meta to corey's existing surfeit of meta on these days?

anxious fucking minds and all that.

This evening at dinner Luca Roagna made a funny face he makes sometimes. It involves his eyes moving in an odd way. I'm not sure if the gravitational pull dictates which way his eyes will move. I do know that I laughed when I saw him do this. I'm not sure if I would have laughed louder had I seen the same event yesterday.

I drank some wine. I liked it.

I like leaves. You can see all those little details in them.

Alas, I only saw this now, the morning after...

Tom is right, I jumped the gun, last night was Root, not as bad as the dreaded dotted line. The latter goes from this afternoon to tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

Maybe it's the coriolis effect.

What do you see from your perspective on the carousel?
 
Maybe it's the coriolis effect.
An engineer once stumbled through the lobby 7 gate
He was carrying a load you would expect to ship by freight
The only things that kept him upright and on his course
Were the boundary conditions and the Coriolis force

(everybody sing...)
