Friday’s Weather Rating: 9/10 Oh, we’re back in business!! Highs in the lower 60’s, plenty of sunshine and a light breeze. A little chilly this morning and again tonight, but we aren’t complaining. A classic autumn day. The vibes are so good!!

Thursday's Weather Rating: 10/10 One year after the worst weather day ever, we are given this gem. Sunny, highs in the 80's, a great northwest breeze and very low dew points. September is here. The vibes are immaculate!!!

Can a Negroni have terroir? Fred Jerbis' slow-food approach to spirits production has earned Fred Cremasco's line of gin, amari and vermouths a cult following among bartenders looking for spirits that express a sense of place. ✍️: @mdkrigbaum trib.al/RE2TeFC

"I used to think of the wines as almost schizophrenic, because the aromas lead you to expect one thing and then when it hits your mouth, kapow!” —#JoshJensen, founder of Mt. Harlan's #Calera, on tasting his first viognier from #Condrieu over 50 years ago. l8r.it/h79e

Only in the United States could the government run a public health campaign centered on fears of large, unexpected medical bills.
Hospital stays can be expensive, but COVID-19 vaccines are free. Help protect yourself from being hospitalized with #COVID19 by getting vaccinated. Find your vaccine: vaccines.gov.

Devastated to learn that Andrea Franchetti has passed away. A trailblazer on Etna & in Tuscany, he made wine with his heart and soul. He always forged his own path. He'll be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him and by the whole wine world. Rest in peace Andrea.

There were no COVID-related deaths yesterday in New York City, where the vaccination rate is over 90%.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Data after a holiday almost always under reports actuals. NYC's own dashboard warns about recent data lag (www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid…). 7-day averages are much more reliable. Also, the 90% rate is incorrect. 88.5% of adults and 76.5% of all residents have at least one dose (www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid…).

Not one member of the GOP voted for the expanded Child Tax Credit. Not one of you is prepared to support paid family and medical leave. "Party of parents"? Give me a break.
The Republican Party is the party of parents.

6 months ago today I wore this blue suit as I cleaned the Capitol after the insurrection, now I just donated it to the Smithsonian. Jan6 must never be forgotten. While some try to erase history, I will fight to tell the story so it never happens again. Here is one story…(THREAD)
