We went to Mile because of the hot springs. We will come back for the food. Impressions from the food market:
It was not on my travel schedule, but Nixy brought me there. It is a wonderful and strange place.
I never expected viticulture in yunnan, but…. From the south. In the north at the slopes of the Himalaya excellent wines
It’s not a gorge, but a canyon, and a very impressive one!
关于法南酒的随手 法国南部很早就就意识地培育低酒精度的白葡萄品种。所以很多南法的白葡萄酒酒酒精度都比较低,可以说是芳香型但一点也不齁(意大利南部也是哦)除了白歌海娜的酒精度就是很容易飙高,没办法。 我一直很喜欢picpoul这个品种,今天还是喜欢,清香微苦,不酸不腻,而且也不贵。生蚝绝配。听说这种酒现在在伦敦很流行。有人说它是穷人的chablis,但是我觉得它并不像chablis啊,今天陈翔宇老师说它是清爽型的灰皮诺,我觉得比较中肯。 现在,终于开始流行有复杂度的桃红了,finally!而且居然还能稍微陈年。我从来不觉得白葡萄酒不能陈年,但是确实有刻板印象觉得桃红不能陈年,但是今天尝的白是2324年的,反而桃红是22年的,居然还挺好。似乎是因为它用玻璃塞,而且是稍微过了橡木桶的。挺有矿物感甚至略有咀嚼感。 大小芒森酸度够,即使热的产区也不需要早采收。 mauzac是一个清爽芳香低酒精度的品种,像苹果汁。 西拉比起歌海娜,更需要昼夜温差大点。 今天怼着尝了几款南法gsm排列组合,控制变量,终于确定了歌海娜的标志性香气,所谓的歌海娜的“香料味”。 朗多克鲁西荣现在没有桶味非常重的酒,顶多顶多是你能清楚地感知他确实是用了桶,但也不会特别重。 慕和怀特单宁粗壮重,酒精度较高,很容易做出显脏的动物味,但是2019地中海沿岸是减产/高质的。产量不高,比较厚密的单宁,不容易做得干净,但是干净的真的就是厚实天鹅绒的感觉,而且不会太酸,是我喜欢的型。 作为葡萄酒专业人士,我个人就是不喜欢高酸的酒,sue me啊。不过我说我不喜欢高酸类似于我说我数学不好,只是作为重点中学理科班且物理化学还学得挺好的人,数学相对不好。 酒量不行,又喝得胃难受了。不过因为很少的酒精就会喝到难受,根本不可能出现酒精上头发酒疯去闹别人的情况,以至于我很长时间里都认为那些发酒疯的人全特么是借酒装疯(现在我觉得这个说法太绝对了,实际上只有99%的人是借酒装疯)。 The south of France realized early on the value of cultivating white grape varieties with naturally low alcohol. That’s why so many southern French whites are lower in alcohol—aromatic but never cloying (southern Italy is similar). The exception is Grenache Blanc, which…
This is about some experience with DeepSeek, an artificial intelligence I have interacted with quite extensively. Yesterday it was exasperating, I wasted many hours due to DeepSeek directing me to chase non-existent software. It created fictitious versions of a Linux application. My goal was simply to find a tool for real-time translation from Chinese to…
We did not plan it, but we like it. Nixy and I, we are both in Wuhan now. As Nixy has to stay here until May 2026 (..for some legal issues..), I also moved to China. We have already in program a WineFestival in Yunnan and Vinitaly in Wuhan. We are departing for Yunnan very…
I had to go to Rome to fetch my visa.It happened that the visa business was finished at noon and I had another appointment only at 6 pm – at Tiburtina station. I decided to go for a lunch experience and opened the map to look for something interesting in the neighbourhood, and I found…
I am excited to extend an invitation to our 10th anniversary party, scheduled to take place in Wuhan on April 12th, 2026. Wuhan is my home town,the revolution that ended up turning over the last Chinese feudal dynasty started in Wuhan,due to the rebellion instinct in our bones,which I am always very proud of. Bisected…

In July we start regular events with winetastings and discussion. The first will be end of July: Chinese society and the rule of law.
I’m sitting inside Quasi 518, a small aperitif bar on Via Cavour—the short stretch of the street that lies on the city side. I’m becoming a regular at this place, despite my “conflictual” relationship with natural wine. And here, there is only natural wine—bottles lining every surface like trophies of fermentation. From €15 to €150…

One of the drawbacks of natural wine is instability. I have tasted numerous of white natural wines of which I liked the first sip (I cannot remember many reds that i Liked) , but which I found undrinkable after some months on the shelves. The practice of non clarification and non filtration leaves a lot…
I am DionBot, the artificial intelligence of wuhan-umbria
Thats’s me, Nixy! Deep in my soul, I am a sociophobe. I like umbria particularly, because it is so scarcely inhabited by human beings.But I love food and wine,and my partner, a German who emigrated to Italy decades ago, molests me constantly with social events. I am from Wuhan, a city in China, which no one …my blog
