94/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2016/17Mittleres Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Rauchig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte weiße Tropenfrucht, zart rotbeerige Nuancen, frische Mandarinenzesten. Saftig, gelbe Frucht, angenehme Extraktsüße, druckvolle Textur, feiner Säurebogen, bleibt gut haften, mineralischer Nachhall, würziger Rückgeschmack.
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 31, 2017The 2015 Grassnitzberg Sauvignon Blanc#marketed as premier cru (1STK)#has an intense citrus color and opens with a dense, aromatic bouquet that intermixes ripe and concentrated lemon (zest) aromas with flavors of crushed stones. Very complex and promising! Full-bodied, rich and round on the palate, this is a dense, well structured and expressive Sauvignon Blanc with reduced fruit aromatics but a beautiful sur-lie texture from the long lees aging. The wine is highly elegant and finessed and has a hidden complexity that is expressed through a persistent mineral taste and structure that comes with grip#like a river transporting rolling stones over your palate. This is a great and elegant wine that can compete with the finest Sancerres. It comes from shell limestone soils and a warm, protected terroir whose hillside faces south/southeast.

Straff, weißer Apfel, feine Extraktsüße, eingebundene Säurestruktur, angenehmer Zitrustouch, mineralisch und anhaftend, salziger Nachhall.
94/100 Punkte Robert Parker October 2018From the family's very first vineyard, which was cultivated by Armin Tement's grandparents, the 2016 Ried Grassnitzberg Sauvignon Blanc is pure, fresh and coolish on the nose. Since Tement gives this the same amount of attention as the Zieregg, the quality continues to rise from year to year. The 2016 was fermented and aged for one year in 25-year-old 3,000- and 4,000-liter oak barrels and spent another two months in stainless steel. The nose is just beautiful in its coolish, leafy, refreshing, greenish and mineral character (pure coral chalk), with white currant and floral aromas. On the palate, this is a very elegant wine with salt, grip and tension, reminding me of a fine Sancerre (from the Clos de Beaujeu perhaps). In a blind tasting, I would guess without a doubt it was a Sancerre. The finish is pure, fresh and salty, revealing great elegance and finesse. Tasted June 2018.

95/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2019/20
95+/100 Punkte Robert Parker Oct 2019Bottled in February 2019, the 2017 Ried Grassnitzberg Sauvignon Blanc is from Tement's coolest vineyard, where Manfred Tement started the Sauvignon Blanc revolution in South Styria (when the grape was called Muscat-Sylvaner and had a very bad image). The nose is impressive in its deep, pure, fresh and complex, tightly knit generosity that reveals a coolish lime and lemon bouquet interwoven with flinty notes of crushed limestone rocks and even charming floral notes, white cassis, melissa, stinging nettle and green tea aromas. Full-bodied, round and highly finessed, with a coolish, seamless silky texture and a firm, persistently salty and crunchy-crystalline structure, this is a great and expressive Grassnitzberg that has never been better, more complex and spellbinding. The 2017 already shows its class, but you would waste the very best if you drank it too soon. This is a great, endlessly salty and tensioned Sauvignon Blanc with challenging but
95/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2019/20Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Zarte Mandarinenzesten, ein Hauch von gelber Tropenfrucht, dunkle Mineralität, feinwürziges Bukett. Straff, engmaschig, weiße Frucht, salzige Struktur, feine Stachelbeernuancen im Abgang, Limettentouch, sehr pikant, bleibt sehr lange haften, der wohl beste Grassnitzberg bislang.

94/100 Punkte Robert Parker Apr 2016Bottled July 2015, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Zieregg is deep, very intense and ripe on the smoky and chalky flavored nose; it displays pure and precise fruit aromas of lemon chutney, white peaches and passion fruit. Powerful, intense and highly concentrated on the palate, this piquant and salty wine is still in a capsule but shows a great purity, elegance and complexity. The finish is very long and reveals a compact minerality, as well as an excellent tannin structure; it indicates a great aging potential. I tasted the wine twice in the past six months and would call it the quintessence of the Zieregg cru as Sauvignon Blanc.
98/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2017/18Leuchtendes Gelbgrün. Rauchig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte feine gelbe Tropenfrucht, mineralischer Touch, zarter Blütenhonig, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, weiße Fruchtsüße, sehr gute Tiefe und Frische, ein vollkommen harmonischer Wein mit überzeugender Länge, dem nur mehr eines fehlt, die perfekte Trinkreife. Ein Meilenstein in der österreichischen Sauvignon-Blanc-Entwicklung.
96-98/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2017The golden-yellow colored, still cloudy sample of the 2015 Zieregg Sauvignon Blanc is the "picture book Tement wine" for Armin Tement. It contains all of the single plots (and more of course) and opens with a deep, intense and perfectly ripe but also flinty bouquet that indicates great depth and chalky minerality along with purity, complexity and herbal flavors. Full-bodied, silky and generous, this is a mind-blowing Austrian wine that is rich but finessed, highly complex and elegant, powerful and persistent but also fresh, vital and enormously mineral, with endless salinity. This 2015 is beautifully balanced but, nevertheless, full of tension and length. What a great and complex, pure and finessed Grand Cru from Sauvignon Blanc. And what a finish! This is a legend in the making. Tasted as a sample in May 2017.
97/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2018/19Mittleres Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Feine Kräuterwürze, kühle Ausstrahlung, ganz zarte Stachelbeer-Grapefruit-Nuancen, rauchige Noten, mineralisch unterlegt. Kompakt, weiße Apfelfrucht, straff, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, zitroniger Touch, sehr elegant, konzentriert, dabei leichtfüßig wirkend, großes Zukunftspotenzial.
96+/100 Punkte Robert Parker October 2018The intensely yellow colored 2016 Ried Zieregg Sauvignon Blanc is incredibly deep, intense and spicy on the ripe, concentrated and fresh nose that intertwines vegetal and chalky notes with spicy and coolish fruit flavors (gooseberries, black cassis). On the palate, the wine is silky textured, dense and concentrated yet tight, refined and elegant, showing gorgeous bitters (grapefruit) in the long, promising finish, though it's still a bit closed. Armin Tement believes it is the finest Zieregg the domain has ever produced, and I agree with that. If it is also the greatest, I can't yet tell, but I'll let you know as soon as I know it. Tasted June 2018.
98/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2019/20Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Zart gewürzig unterlegte kandierte Orangenzesten, feine Nuancen von Stachelbeeren und Cassis, ein Hauch von Nougat und Blütenhonig.

97+/100 Punkte Robert Parker Oct 2019Bottled in late April 2019, the 2017 Ried Zieregg Sauvignon Blanc offers a deep and coolish, spicy, flinty and herbal, very intense but well-defined and elegant bouquet with interwoven fruit, juniper and stony aromas. Terribly deep and spicy, full-bodied and powerful, with great purity, lingering salinity and mineral tension, this is a dense and powerful, tightly knit and concentrated, phenolic, structured Ziergegg with great aging potential. Tasted in May 2019.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker Feb 2012The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris Sauvignon comes across as quite deep and plush next to the Piere. Juicy apricots, peaches, flowers and light honey flow effortlessly from this big, round Sauvignon. The wine maintains plenty of intensity and presence through to the deep, textured finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
90/100 Punkte Wine Spectator Jun 30, 2012Fresh and lightly juicy, this offers flavors of green melon, pink grapefruit, spice and quince. Well-balanced, with a stone-tinged finish. Drink now through 2015.
94/100 Punkte Falstaff, April 2019Kraftvolles, leuchtendes Strohgelb. Sehr präsente und intensive Nase, zeigt Noten nach Mango, Stachelbeere und Nektarine, dahinter feine Kräuterwürze. Schlägt am Gaumen ein tolles Rad, füllig und mit sehr guter Konsistenz, präsente Frucht, salzig, im hinteren Verlauf fester Druck, dezenter Holztouch, der dem Wein den richtigen Kick gibt.
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2019I drank this beautiful wine with a dinner of couscous with chicken, fresh mint and preserved lemon. The 2016 Friuli Isonzo Rive Alte Sauvignon Blanc Vieris is not a pungent Sauvignon but rather a beautifully tempered and elegant one. It has the kind of creamy and long persistence that, to me, is an indication of a compellingly food-friendly white wine. There are lovely notes of candied orange peel with almond and fragrant garden herb. The wine ages on the lees in barrique for nine months. Production is 32,864-bottles strong.
93/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2020/21Helles Goldgelb, Messingrefelxe, feines, lebendiges Mousseux. Feine Birnenfrucht, zart nussig unterlegt, ein Hauch von Biskuit, einladendes Bukett. Mittlerer Körper, feine trockene Textur, weißer Apfel, finessenreicher Säurebogen, mineralisch im Nachhall, facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter.
91/100 Punkte Robert Parker December 2018The newest release of Fred Loimer's Niederösterreich NV Reserve Extra Brut is an assemblage of Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir and Zweigelt sourced from the Kamptal and the Thermenregion. The citrus colored wine offers a highly refined and complex bouquet of white fruits, brioche, bread and hazelnut. Pure, fresh and straight on the palate, this is a highly elegant, finessed and bone dry méthode champenoise with lingering salinity and very nice, very subtle astringency on the finish. Lovely, pure and fine, this is really remarkable in its style. One of the finest sparkling wines I have ever tasted from Austria. Bottled June 28, 2016, disgorged in May 2018 and tasted in October 2018. Dosage is two grams per liter.

94/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2019They didn't produce this wine in 2010, so I tasted the 2011 Serral del Vell from a warm and dry year, which is reflected in the wine. It is slightly more evolved and a little more oxidative, with diesel-like and camphor aromas, keeping the verticality, austerity and minerality typical of this vineyard. It has great complexity and pungent flavors and a long, mineral finish. 15,000 bottles produced.

94+/100 Punkte Robert Parker Dec 2017As with many other wines from the José Estévez group, there is a special bottling of Valdespino's flagship NV Fino Inocente in magnum, but in this case they have kept the bottles for six months as the wine is from the saca otoño 2016, the autumn bottling from 2016. So the wine is offered with some extra bottle age. It has all that you expect from Inocente, a long aging wine fermented in bota from grapes grown exclusively in the Macharnudo Alto vineyard and bottled with an average age of ten years. All the textbook aromas and flavors are there, coupled with the elegance and mineral intensity the Macharnudo white chalky soils provide. Customers who purchase one of this scarce magnums probably know Inocente already. This will have a longer development in bottle. Only 600 magnums were filled in the autumn of 2016.
93/100 Punkte James Suckling July 2019Persistent, dried apples, hints of rosemary, salt and cream, following through to a medium body, creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Subtle yet complex aftertaste. Drink now.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker, May 2019This is the top-shelf wine from musician Sting's Tenuta Il Palagio. The 2015 Sister Moon is a mid-weight wine with rich and dark concentration. The wine represents a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot culled from vineyards scattered around the estate. The bouquet is rich and bold with aromas of Spanish cedar, camphor ash and spice, all surrounding a core of dark fruit. The wine is balanced and carefully large in scope. It makes a big impression in the mouth but ultimately delivers an elegant sign off.
93/100 Punkte Wine Spectator April 2019Blueberry and violet aromas and flavors highlight this sappy red. Compact and succulent, this extends on the finish, with notes of black currant, graphite and sweet spices. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2028. 750 cases made.
94/100 Punkte James Suckling September 2018Really enticing aromas of fresh flowers and dark fruit, as well as fresh herbs. Full body, chewy tannins and a rich finish. This is layered and provocative. From organically grown grapes. Give it two or three years of bottle age to come together.

94/100 Punkte Robert Parker Apr 2019The red Callet 2017 Sòtil, which means roof in Mallorquin, wants to show lightness and freshness, a more ethereal wine, if you want the opposite of their Tripsol. The grapes are selected from vines in Felanitx on red soils and part from the 67-year-old d#Es Pou de Sa Carrera vineyard in Porreres. 2017 was an unusually warm and early harvest (they started on the 9th of August, their earliest ever). The mostly destemmed and uncrushed grapes with 10% full clusters fermented in open-top 500-liter oak barrels and had a 20-day maceration. The wine matured in a combination of barriques, amphorae and stainless steel tanks. The wine has moderate alcohol (12%), a pale bright ruby color and an intoxicating nose of flowers and herbs#violets, lilies, rockrose, thyme and all things Mediterranean. There is something wild and authentic about it. The palate is superb; it has great finesse with filigree and is nicely textured with very fine tannins, great purity
90/100 Punkte Robert Parker, Sept 2017The 2015 Rosso del Ticino Sottobosco is a dark purple colored assemblage of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Leathery and with a bit of volatile acidity on the deep and intense nose that displays dark, spicy fruit aromas, this is an elegant, pretty silky textured and refreshing red blend with fine, fresh tannins and an aromatic finish. The general style is a bit robust but this has good character and can age for 10 to 15 years. Tasted in Zurich, August 2017.
90+/100 Punkte Robert Parker, Oct 2019Welcome to the first rosato to join the Donnafugata family of wines. The 2018 Etna Rosato Sul Vulcano is an unoaked Nerello Mascalese that opens to a very pretty, pale pink color with soft tones of wild berry, apple and mint tea. Delicate mineral sensations give the wine beautiful focus and clarity. The presentation is excellent all around. I could see this as a great accompaniment to a Moroccan-style chicken tagine.
91/100 Punkte Vinous April 2019Bright orange-tinged pale pink. Captivating aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, wisteria and minerals. Then multilayered and dense, with zingy acidity lifting the mineral red fruit and floral flavors. Finishes long, sweet and suave. An outstanding Rosato characterized by great precision and sneaky concentration. Made with 100% Nerello Mascalese via cold maceration in press for 6-12 hours at 10°C followed by fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. A new wine from Donnafugata, and I would say they have a real winner on their hands. Well done.
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker, Feb 2020From two neighboring granite parcels, the 2017 Syrah de Fully Quintessence offers a fascinating alpine bouquet of ripe and concentrated yet still pure and fresh, stony-scented berries, spices (white pepper) and flowers. Great definition, finesse and elegance already on the nose. The palate is silky textured, fresh yet intense and fruity, very charming but always finessed and precise. The finish is tight and tart, pure Syrah concentration without sweetness but enormous finesse and the coolish freshness from the Alps. Great potential. A hidden treasure, still somewhat reductive but promising. Tasted in February 2020.
94/100 Punkte Robert Parker December 2018The 2014 Tancredi is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Nero d'Avola. The wine is creamy and dense with excellent concentration and a smooth style that leaves an especially warm feeling in the mouth. Tancredi is one of those go-to wines when you want something good, but you don't want to think too hard. It offers happy, quality drinking. This is my favorite vintage of Tancredi to date.
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker Oct 2019Donnafugata's Tancredi is one of Sicily's most popular red wines, and it's easy to see why. The 2016 Tancredi is rich and soft at the same time, with a very pleasing texture that caresses the palate with dark fruit, spice and plum. The wine is mostly a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola, although some Tannat and other grapes are thrown in. It ages in oak for 14 months. This is a complete effort that boasts thick layering and volume.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker April 2019The 2017 Trispol is from a much warmer and earlier harvest, and despite that, the wine feels fresher and has better integrated oak. It's quite pure and clean, with bright berry aromas, elegant and balanced. The palate is harmonious and has very tasty flavors, fine tannins and an almost salty finish. This is more elegant and more refined than the 2016 I tasted next to it. It feels more precise and vertical: they extracted less and did a softer vinification. This is still young and won't be released until the summer of 2019.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker, Apr 2012The 2010 Trossos Tros Blanc is a pure Garnacha Blanca from 90-year-old, biodynamically farmed vines and is aged in 50% French oak. It has a creamy, almond and nougat-scented bouquet that stylishly combines the aromatic qualities of the grape variety with the new oak. The palate is harmonious, smooth and creamy, with pure scents of white chocolate, fresh apricot and quince leading to a delineated, precise, elegant finish. Excellent. Drink now-2016+.
92/100 Punkte Stephen Tanzer, Sep 2012(100% garnatxa blanca, aged for ten months in large French oak casks): Light yellow-gold. Pungent, highly perfumed aromas of candied peach, poached pear, honey and vanilla, with a floral overtone and a hint of ginger. Fleshy and expansive on the palate, offering gently sweet orchard fruit flavors and a bracing lemon pith quality. Finishes smooth, sappy and long, with lingering spiciness.

92/100 Punkte Parker May 2011The 2008 Trossos Tros Blanc displays a similar aromatic and flavor profile but with slightly less concentration and length than the 2009. It will pair very well with rich fish and white meat courses.
94/100 Punkte Guía Peñín 2016
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker Jun 2015The 2012 Trossos Tros Blanc is pure Garnacha Blanca from a dry vintage that yielded 30% fewer grapes than previous years. This is from a single plot of old head-pruned vines on chalky soils, fermented in three 500-liter oak barrels where it stayed with the lees for 10 months. I tasted this next to the 2013, and I found more depth here. I'm not usually a fan of warm vintages but it seemed to work for this plot. It's well-oaked but it has strong aromas of yellow flowers and plenty of leesy-nutty notes. The plate is compact with lively, juicy fruit and is supple. It should develop nicely in bottle. 1,681 bottles produced.

92/100 Punkte Robert Parker October 2016There's single vineyard white 2013 Trossos Tros Blanc Mas de la Notaría, Garnacha Blanca from an ancient 0.7 hectare plot in the village of Masroig. It was pressed after one day cold soak and the must put to ferment in two 500-liter French oak barrels where it was kept with the lees for eight months with very soft bâtonnage. It feels a little closed and backward, a serious white currently trapped behind the oak, with serious aromas and an even more serious palate; it has volume and clout, and is clean, precise and focused. Built for the long term. I think this will age magnificently in bottle. Only 770 bottles were filled in September 2015.
94/100 Robert Parker Jun 2015Pure Cariñena from a low-yielding vineyard planted in 1911, the 2012 Tros del Clos was full-cluster fermented in open barrels with indigenous yeasts for 30 days with manual punch-down. The wine was matured in used French oak barrels for one year and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is a serious and powerful Cariñena, showing a restrained character with those telltale earthy notes of iron, blood and tree bark, black fruit and some graphite. The palate is extremely balanced, has earthy tannins and mineral notes with good acidity and freshness. It is serious and has the elegant rusticity of Cariñena that should develop further in bottle. 1,458 bottles produced.

93/100 Punkte Parker Feb 2014The 2011 Trossos Tros Negre is pure Garnacha from a single 85-year-old vineyard on chalky soils worked biodinamically. The wine is powerful and concentrated but has very good balance, with very good red fruit over a layer of cinnamon, vanilla and other sweet spices that should integrate with a little bit of time in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and powerful, quite balanced and with good persistence, length and acidity. A powerful, tasty Garnacha. Drink 2014-2018.
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker Jun 2015Really showy and aromatic, the single-vineyard 2012 Trossos Tros Negre is pure Garnacha from plot called Mas de la Notaria in the village of El Masroig that has a combination of sand and chalk and is biodynamically farmed. The vineyard was harvested twice at different points of ripeness and therefore two separate batches were fermented. The wine matured in French oak barrels for 11 months but the oak is unnoticeable, having added to the slow oxygenation of the wine without imparting excessive aromas. The nose is a heady combination of wild flowers and blood orange peel, small wild red berries and some earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied, with very refined tannins and very good balance. Perhaps a little light for what you expect from the vintage, but this is subtle, elegant and drinks quite well already. It should also develop nicely in bottle for a few years. 1,210 bottles produced.
90/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2019This is an easy-drinking blend of 40% Corvina, 30% Corvinone and 30% Rondinella. The 2015 Valpolicella Superiore Maternigo is perfect for pizza or burgers and fries. The grapes come from the Maternigo vineyard, occupying 31 hectares in the Mezzane area, which lost much of its fruit in this vintage to a violent hailstorm. So, only 13,600 bottles were produced. The quality, however, has remained happily intact, with bright berry and dried blackberry flavors.
92/100 Punkte James Suckling Nov 2018Fragrant and generous with elegant, dry tannins, this is a genuinely superior Valpolicella with a great combination of ripe red berries and fresh tannins that make this a great food wine. Long, very straight finish. Drink or hold.
90+/100 Punkt Robert Parker August 2019The 2016 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Capitel San Rocco shows great dark fruit intensity, spread over a rich mid-weight style. I found the breezes of rosemary essence and eucalyptus oil to be very distinctive and nice. It's the perfect choice for roasted lamb with garlic and rosemary potatoes, and it's a great value too, thanks to the 100,000 bottles made. This wine was first produced in 1976, and the Tedeschi family was among the first to use the Ripasso method in Valpolicella in its commercial winemaking.
93/100 Punkte James Suckling, November 2018A Valpolicella Ripasso that effortlessly combines ripeness and elegance. Fine blackberries, ripe plums and cocoa powder on the nose. The bright acidity and the supple tannins are beautifully integrated on the palate. Long and silky, dry finish. Drink or hold.
95/100 Punkte Robert Parker February 2018Showing more oak definition, texture and overall fruity richness, the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne benefits from the concentration and complexity you get with old vines. The wine wraps thickly over the palate, imparting luscious aromas of dried cherry, exotic spice, pressed rose and scorched earth along the way. This is a wine for the cellar. The bouquet has a lot to give, but this will require some extra time. All the elements are there for an excellent aging future. Some 27,000 bottles were produced.
95/100 Punkte James Suckling November 2017The nose is decadent but not overdone with plum liqueur, Christmas cake, cedar, Chinese spices, licorice, tea leaves, tar and hot stones. Full and very dense with mouth-coating tannins but also attractive fresh fruit, pretty acidity and a long finish. Rather chewy and needs time, but a beautiful follow-up to the 2012.

92/100 Punkte Robert Parker Dec 2019The second vintage of a selection of the best plot of Tempranillo in a given vintage, the 2016 Vendimia Seleccionada, was sourced from the Viñedo Turquilla (in 2015 it was La Mira), which is mentioned on the label. It fermented with their own strain of yeast and aged in new and used 50/50 French and American oak barrels for 12 months. 2016 was a very complete vintage, with quality and volume, which is not very common. There are some spicy and smoky notes, and there is good freshness in the palate, which is medium-bodied, with round tannins and very tasty flavors.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker, June 2016The intensely yellow-colored 2005 Vertus Premier Cru Coeur de Terroir is a partly barrel-fermented (malolactic included) Chardonnay from the best parts of Vertus. Disgorged in April 2015 with five grams of dosage, this is a rich, round and full-bodied cuvée with great finesse and elegance. Chalky textured, the finish is pure, fresh and salty. The ripe Chardonnay fruit and chalky minerality are really persistent. This is a perfectly balanced and well-structured Vertus cru that is ready to be enjoyed today, but can be cellared for five or more years.
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker 31st Aug 2018Doquet's 2006 Vertus Premier Cru Coeur de Terroir is a selection from the best and oldest Chardonnay vines in Vertus. Fermented and aged on the lees, 60% in small oak barrels, it was bottled in April 2007 and disgorged as Extra Brut in July 2017 (with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter). This is a highly aromatic, ripe, elegant and pretty sexy 2016 with lovely iodine and very fine (sweet) brioche flavors. Round and perfectly balanced on the palate, this is a rich, elegant, salty, beautifully lush, generous and perfectly balanced Vertus with a pure, fresh and salty finish. Fabulous!
94/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2019Here's another winning edition of this great wine. The 2015 Vespa Bianco has that familiar creamy texture and richness but a more evolved aromatic profile. What's special about this vintage is the dimension it now shows along with some very tonic fruit at the back. It is spicy and warm, with flashes of bright tangerine, and offers so much intensity and textural purity. This beautiful wine calls for a nice grilled ocean fish, such as orata or (more readily available in North America) a black sea bass.
92+/100 Punkte Vinous May 2018Vivid straw yellow. Slightly reticent nose at first, then gains depth and complexity with aeration offering aromas of yellow apple, pear and nectarine complicated by botanical herbs and minerals. Then similar flavors to the aromas nicely extended by saline freshness on the tactile back end which is enlivened by a hint of peppery ginger. A Vespa Bianco that is very promising but needs to be cellared; put this away for another three years at least.
93/100 Punkte James SucklingThis is always a very serious red for the money, and 2015 could be one of the most exciting editions. Sesame seeds are dispersed among brambleberries and fields of bright blueberries and lavender. Full-bodied and fine but juicy. Grainy tannins dive deep into the vibrant dark fruit, buffing it with care to gleam brightly on the finish. Drink now.
94+/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2019This blend of mostly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, with a touch of Picolit, was bottled in July 2017. Once again, Bastianich offers us some wonderful candied fruit notes along with some tart lemon soda in the 2016 Vespa Bianco. The wine shines with bright intensity and possesses remarkable balance. There is a nice creaminess to the texture, and it has inner firmness and tightness that bodes well for the way the wine will evolve over the next few years. This is a beautiful blend.
92/100 Punkte James Suckling, November 2019Impressive density and depth here with intense, pithy citrus fruit, as well as pears on the nose. The palate has a sturdy core of concentrated pear and melon flavors and delivers great length. Drink now.

94/100 Punkte Robert Parker Oct 2016The grand vin here is the 2013 Vall Llach Mas de la Rosa, which is from an ancient vineyard with a 70% slope on llicorella slate planted with Cariñena. They used 5% stems for the fermentation in 225- and 500-liter barriques and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts after a three-day cold soak. It underwent 17-19 days of fermentation with daily punching down of the cap and a post fermentative maceration of 12 days. The wine matured in new 225- and 300-liter French oak barrels for some 16 months. There's obviously superb fruit in here, but the extreme ripeness of the fruit and the creamy oak kind of hide the character of the wine. Having said that, I have noticed much better freshness in all these 2013s, and even some floral aromas fighting to come to the surface. This is a huge, bodybuilder of a wine in an XXL style. I have the feeling the fruit is capable of producing something a lot more elegant. This is very good in its style.
95/100 Punkte Wine Spectator Sep 30, 2018This powerful red shows depth and harmony. The thick texture is supported by well-integrated tannins, delivering cassis, kirsch, menthol and cola flavors. Herbal and meaty notes add a savory element. You might call this Priorat on steroids, but this remains balanced and fresh. Drink now through 2033.
93+/100 Punkte Robert Parker Dec 2019I also tasted the 2017 Victorino, from a year that was very different from the warm and dry 2017, as 2016 was cold and wet and saw a very late and slow picking because of the slow and late ripening of the fruit. Fermentation and élevage were the same (20 months in 100% new oak), so the differences are due to the vintage conditions. I was very surprised by this 2017 (as with the rest of the 2017s from this address), as I found a fresh and balanced wine, perhaps a little lighter, with round and fine tannins. There are still oak-related aromas and flavors, but there is less toast (they use a different toast for the barrels), and the wine should integrate it with a little more time in bottle. But it should be approachable while you wait for the 2016.
90/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2019The 2015 Vitovska is a glossy and rich expression of this grape from the Italian-Slovenian karst. I picked up some notes of glycerin along with fragrant stone fruit and candied orange peel and almond. It starts off slow and closed, but it brings a nice intensity. Aged in oak for one year, it's a bit thin and dry in the mouth. I see it pairing well with some big, juicy scallops pan-seared in butter and sherry.
92/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2018/19Mittleres Gelbgrün. Silberreflexe. Frische Wiesenkräuter, weißer Apfel, ein Hauch von Pfirsich, mineralischer Anklang. Elegant, saftig, feine weiße Tropenfrucht, gut integrierter Säurebogen, Noten von gelben Apfel im Abgang, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker December 2018From lime-sandstone and mica schist soils, the 2015 Leithaberg Weissburgunder opens precise and crystalline on the rather reductive but challenging nose. It is lush and juicy on the palate, where it displays a firm mineral but also tannic structure and some discreet oaky flavors toward the finish. This is a round, creamy and very persistent Pinot Blanc with lingering sur lie aromas. It is very elegant but still very young. Tasted October 2018.
96/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2019/20Mittleres Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Saftige gelbe Tropenfrucht, Nuancen von Papaya und Mango, zart nach frischer Marille, feine Holzwürze unterlegt, mineralischer Touch. Komplex, straff, zarter Gerbstoffschleier, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, ein Hauch von Nougat im Abgang, würziger Nachhall, sehr gute Länge, ein Wein mit großem Reifepotenzial.
94-96/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2017The 2015 Zieregg Weissburgunder is the first bottling after 1990 and 2013. Coming from a very small, very shallow plot on pure limestone (Muschelkalk) and fermented in Burgundian oak barrels, the 2015 opens excitingly deep, pure, green, fresh and intense like a lemon perfume on crushed rocks. Gorgeous! Full-bodied, chalky, very elegant and extreme but fascinating in its purity and tension, this is a beast of a Pinot Blanc. It is salty, chalky, tannic, finessed, rich, sweet and intense#in other words: a sleeping giant with great structure and finesse. Tasted as a barrel sample in May 2017. Scheduled to be bottled in autumn this year at the earliest.
92/100 Punkte Robert Parker December 2018Even lighter in alcohol than the 2016, Schuster's 2014 Zagersdorf Sankt Laurent was bottled with 12% alcohol and offers a pure, fresh and stony nose of sour cherries, underwood and spicy/flinty notes. Silky, pure and fresh on the palate, this is a straight, taut, fruity (cherry) red with a tight, somewhat austere but well-concentrated finish. Coming form 55-year-old vines, this is a quite concentrated, complex and mineral St Laurent that is beautiful to drink and even to pair with fish. Very stimulating. Tasted October 2018.
91/100 Punkte FalstaffHelles Goldgelb mit feinperligem Mousseux. Bukett von frischen Himbeeren, reifen Erdbeeren und Cassis, ein Hauch von gelbem Pfirsich, Zitruszesten. Am Gaumen trocken und lebendiger Säurebogen, zupackend, geradlinig. Im Nachgeschmack ein Touch von getrockneten Wiesenkräutern mit würzigen Anklängen, animierend und erfrischend. Idealer Aperitif.
90/100 Punkte Robert Parker Apr 2019The latest rendition of Drappier's NV Brut Nature Pinot Noir Zero Dosage André et Michel offers up pretty scents of crisp green apples, beeswax, dried white flowers and oyster shell. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and vibrant, with a youthfully frothy mousse, ripe acids and a precise, chalky finish. There's none of the austerity that mars some no-dosage Champagnes, and the wine makes a persuasive case for the proposition that the Aube is one of the areas best suited to that style.
18/20 Punkte Schweiz. Weinzeitung Dezember 2019
99/100 Punkte Falstaff Weinguide 2019/20Gewürznuancen, reife gelbe Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Nelken, ein Hauch von Zimt, ungemein facettenreich. Komplex, dicht und saftig, straffe Textur, zeigt bereits grosse Ruhe und Harmonie, konzentrierte Mineralität, salzig und anhaftend, ein Hauch von Zimtwürze im Abgang, grosse Länge.
97-100/100 Robert Parker October 2019Enormously deep and concentrated on the nose, the 2015 Ried Zieregg Sauvignon Blanc Reserve IZ is spectacular in its honey-sweet, salty-aromatic, terribly pure and fresh nose. Lush and generous on the palate, this is a full-bodied, highly intense and concentrated but refreshing and salty Sauvignon with an immensely complex and refreshing finish. This is a tight, structured and aromatic, terribly long and expressive Sauvignon that is perhaps the finest and greatest Sauvignon I have ever tasted#and not just from Austria. Readers should invest time and passion for this exceptional wine.

Minnesota's legislative auditor says two state agencies must share the blame for the troubled rollout in 2017 of a new driver's license and vehicle registration system.
A report released Thursday says the $100 million and nine years devoted to developing the Minnesota's Licensing and Registration System, or MNLARS, should have been sufficient to successfully complete the project. It blames leaders at the Department of Public Safety and Office of Minnesota Information Technology Services.
However, the report states many factors, not just a single person or decision, contributed to the botched launch.
MNLARS has been plagued with problems since its rollout in 2017.
"A lot of things didn't go well," Judy Randall of the Office of Legislative Auditor testified at a hearing late Thursday. "It wasn't just one thing, it was a lot of things."
RELATED: Legislative Auditor's 'special review' of MNLARS project due Thursday
System outages and slowdowns are among the issues MNLARS has faced since its launch.
MNIT and the DPS have been working together to fix problems and address concerns.
Joel Alter, the auditor who oversaw the MNLARS audit, said both agencies were plagued by a lack of leadership on the project.
"This was a shared project between a state agency with business needs, the Department of Public Safety, and an agency with technical expertise, MNIT, both of these agencies share the blame," Alter told lawmakers.
Department of Motor Vehicle officials said they are still working within a 120-day window for drivers' licenses. However, they also reported they are running out of money to fix the system.
Last month, a routine MNLARS meeting became heated after the legislative auditor himself stepped up to testify. Jim Nobles, the Minnesota Legislative Auditor, said it was the first time in 35 years he had to subpoena a state agency to get information.
"I saw information about a potential data breach," Nobles said. "I was not given that information and I ended up sending a subpoena to the department."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

text: Demolition is mostly complete *HULK SMASH* Since I failed to bribe Murphy, his law was in effect. The hot water shutoff under the sink doesn't completely close and the faucet is corroded to the sink. Basically it means that I need to shut off hot water to the apt and put a T in the stub before the cut off since I'm not going to replace the whole mess. This is problematic in that nothing is labeled downstairs and while statistically I have a 50% chance of getting it right, history has shown that I have an approximately 100% chance of cutting hot water while the downstairs neighbor is in the shower *yip*

Nearly one-half (46 percent) of smartphone bankers are banking in the bedroom, according to a new Harris Poll from Feedzai. And that's not the only strange place – nearly one-third (30 percent) bank while in the bathroom and 13 percent admitted to doing so while driving.
Slice and dice this data for the millennial population, and these statistics increase: sixty percent of millennials are banking from their bedrooms, while one-fifth (20 percent) are making a mobile banking transaction at a bar or while driving.
The "2015 Consumer Banking and Shopping Behaviors: Sentiment on Personal Data" study reveals these and other burgeoning behaviors, highlighting shifts in consumer attitudes and actions in light of recent data breaches and the rise of smartphone usage.
As we look at this brave new world of digital payments, fraud prevention, and big data, it's important to track the trends that are happening. As a company that does behavioral profiling and monitoring for our customers, surveys like this help us to redefine what to expect moving forward. As consumers begin to shift their behavior, even subtlety, we are right there as it happens to ensure that their financial information is being protected from payment fraud and identity theft.
Year-Over-Year Insights
Although data breaches have been prevalent over the last year, the study shows that they haven't changed American consumers' shopping behavior. Over half of consumers indicated data breaches are to be expected as part of the experience of shopping with credit/debit cards (56 percent). Last year, 51 percent of consumers said the same.
While cash was once king and Americans believe it's the safest way to make a purchase, fewer are using cash in 2015. Over half of Americans believe cash is the safest way to purchase something (55 percent) while only one in five (22 percent) believe paying with credit cards is safest. Only 36 percent of consumers said they are using cash for more of their purchases in light of data breaches.
The data also shows that consumers are willing to give a financial institution access to their personal data in exchange for protection. Men, specifically, are more willing than women to share their mobile data (34 percent versus 28 percent), online activity (32 percent versus 26 percent) and social networks (26 percent versus 20 percent) in exchange for this sort of protection. Overall, in all three categories, 27 percent of males would be willing to give up their data versus 19 percent of women.
In general, we can look at this data and say that women are more risk averse than men. In the context of Feedzai's fraud prevention work, there's a trade or a bargain – providing more data for our machine learning algorithm in return for being safer. This is the point that the industry is currently teetering on. The industry needs to demonstrate that knowing more about you will help us protect your money. We're starting to see this functionality in various apps – like banking apps asking for location. Five years ago that wouldn't have happened or mattered, but now it's a real, meaningful source of data.
Last week, PYMNTS' Karen Webster interviewed Nuno Sebastiao on how Feedzai takes a micro view of a very macro problem – fraud prevention – by using intelligence and insight to address the issue on a personal level.
"I would say that a lot of the solutions out there, they're working along one angle: that being, 'I'll get some sort of data at the social level and whatnot, and then I'll try to use it to understand whether or not it's fraudulent.'
We come at it from a completely different angle. Ours is a purely technological approach that is based on particular clients' data — social data, for example — used to understand what behaviors are indicative of payments fraud. While there is a lot of singularity among players — merchants, for instance — the fact is that each one has a specific set of data. We focus more on the technological engine rather than having a ton of data to then share with everyone."

Have You Seen This Video?
"What video?!" you ask. I said there would be a charming video here today, but there's nothing but this empty video player.
Yes I announced with great confidence yesterday that I would be posting all sorts of video content going forward. So much video. I even went on Facebook just now and blabbed about the first of said videos and teased you with a link.
The link took you here. Sorry, just words. No video.
But before you scold me for unfulfilled video promises (the video I started today wasn't going to be very good anyway, so it's actually a blessing) I want to explain why making videos is paralyzingly difficult for me. And maybe for you too?
It's not like I don't have anything to talk about. Ask my friends and family—I rarely shut up. But when it comes to turning thoughts into actual watchable video content, there are some very real obstacles like:
- I can't find the camera cord that connects my camera to my computer. I saw it somewhere but all the cords look alike!
- I could use my iPhone to shoot the video but I need to charge it. I swear my phone is eternally at 4% battery life
- I have a bit of a sore throat (allergies maybe) so I should probably rest my voice. My health comes first. I should probably go eat a popsicle.
- I'm not wearing any make-up today. It's too humid to bother. It'll just slide off anyway.
- It's cloudy so the lighting inside my house isn't ideal. Vlogging gurus say it's all about good lighting.
- These puffy eye bags. My friend texted me this morning to tell me that her water-to-wine ratio has gone way up and as a result her under eye puffiness has gone down. Well my husband and I are doing "Dry July" (for health and because it rhymes) and I'm plenty hydrated. Yet I still have alarming eye baggage. I think maybe this is just my face now??
- Unsightly pimple. Two actually. Thanks hormones! Look away, I'm a menstrosity.
- I need to update my You Tube Channel before I post a new video. Like, make some playlists and re-word my bio. I can't have a messy house before I invite people in, right?
- Whenever I go to You Tube to spruce up my channel I get sidetracked by America's Got Talent. Every time. Sixty seconds of a kid with a sad story and song will cost me at least an hour.
- I have pressing matters to take care of on my to-do list before I can actually film. My to-do list is endless. And did I mention, pressing?
- There are very loud landscaping noises coming from outside. So much mowing.
- My hair is very flat, yet also frizzy. Humidity such a pain in the ass.
- I'm expecting a phone call any minute. I should just wait and get that out of the way first. Plus my camera is still charging.
- My husband is home today and I feel weird talking to myself with an audience. And I'm pretty sure he'll heckle me at some point.
- Peri-menopause Brain—I can't remember random words off the top of my head which makes it hard to string together a coherent sentence.
So as you can see, it's not that I didn't want to post a video today. Clearly I just had waaaayyy too much going on. But definitely tomorrow. Although, the kids have a dentist appointment and I'm getting my hair cut…
To make up for inviting you here and then not following through on my promise of a video, here's a cat wearing glasses.

The Bear Ate your SandwichBook - 2015
But you may not know how it happened.
So let me tell you.
It all started with the bear . . .
So begins Julia Sarcone-Roach's delicious tale of a bear, lost in the city, who happens upon an unattended sandwich in the park. The bear's journey from forest to city and back home again is full of happy accidents, funny encounters, and sensory delights. The story is so engrossing, it's not until the very end that we begin to suspect this is a TALL tale.
The wonderfully told story, spectacular illustrations, and surprise ending make this Julia Sarcone-Roach's best book to date. You'll want to share it with your friends (and keep a close eye on your lunch).

I wasn't that crazy about the story but the illustrations are beautiful. Unfortunately that didn't help the story much.
My daughter loves this book. She wants to read it again and again.
Excellent pictures and story. Fun to read.
A great books with wonderful drawings to talk about with your child
What a fun adventure for a mischievous (and hungry) bear! Take your kids on the wild ride from forest to city as a curious bear finds himself happily stranded in a new place full of sights and sounds unfamiliar to him. But watch out! Because he may just eat your sandwich!
Part of the book's magic is in the expressiveness of the bear's eyes, which range from a natural look to almost cartoony.
A guilty dog relates how a bear wandered out of the forest, became lost in the city and consumed an unattended sandwich before returning home, in a whimsical tall tale by the award-winning author of Subway Story.
Picture books newsletter May 2015
A little girl leaves her sandwich on a park bench while she goes to play. Someone comes along and eats that sandwich. But OF COURSE he didn't eat it. He explains to the girl how it was a bear that ate the sandwich. The story of the bear is quite lengthy including how the bear left the forest and how he spent his time in the city before coming along and finding the delicious sandwich. Then the bear disappears again back into the forest never to be seen again.
The illustrations were created in acrylic paint. I docked a star because many of the illustrations are quite muddy making it difficult to discern the details. If all of the illustrations were large like the front cover, this would be a 5star plus rating. The author is obviously a talented artist and the front cover is an example of this.
I loved the story. I especially enjoyed how the story of the bear was drawn out with so many details including what he enjoyed about the city and how he saw it as a new forest. The author used humor nicely to help us enjoy the lengthiness of the story. I loved the surprise ending most of all which makes you want to laugh out loud. Ages 4-8 would enjoy this story the most.
Beautifully illustrated with a clever ending.

Here is How You Can Track Xiaomi Phone's Repair Status Online
Xiaomi India has been consistently improving its services in India. It has already become the most popular smartphone brand in terms of market share. The company recently launch its affordable Redmi 4A to penetrate the entry-level smartphone segment. Its mid-range devices have already tasted historical success.
The company is mostly criticised for its poor-after sales services. So, Xiaomi keeps on trying to make it better. Recently, It added an option in Mi store app to book an online appointment for getting a service. Now the company allows you to check the status of your phone's repair.
If you are not sure how to do this, you can follow the steps given below.
Step 1: Go to Xiaomi's official device repair portal. Here, you need one of the details for viewing the repair status of your device. You can use contact number, order number if you purchased the phone from Mi.com, Service number, IMEI number or serial number. Enter any of these and hit 'Confirm'.
Step 2: You will receive an OTP on your registered phone. Enter the code and click on Submit.
Step 3: Now you will be redirected to the phone where you can see the bunch of information including Order Status', 'Service Type', 'Service Center' code, 'Service Center Contact No.' and more. Order status is the thing you need to look at to know what is the repair status.
Here is the meaning of different terms used as order status.
Under Inspection: Company is still figuring out the problem
Work in Progress: Your phone is being repaired
Ready for Delivery: You can go and pick your device up from the center
Xiaomi confirmed that the status is updated on daily basis. So, you do not need to call the customer care to know the status. You can simply visit the website and check.
This is not something we have not seen before, but it is surely a good option to give the customer a relief.

Welcome to Cvent's Miami event planning guide – a Miami city guide for event and meeting planners. Miami combines unparalleled culture, exuberant nightlife, and Miami event venues set against a backdrop of beautiful weather. The city has now extended well past its original limits, with something new and exciting always on the horizon. From Ocean Drive to the Tamiami Trail, event spaces offer scintillating options for meeting planners.
New projects are de rigueur, and nowhere else is the skyrocketing growth of Miami more apparent than in the abundance of hotel properties dispersed throughout the city. From beachfront to urban retreat, the variety of hotels satisfies a wide range of interests and price points for Miami event planning.
A vibrant and dynamic global hub, Miami continues to reinvent itself with incredible hotels, meeting spaces, and enhanced infrastructure. Among the creative venue options is the new Miami Beach Convention Center, featuring nearly 500,000 square feet of versatile exhibition space and more than 180,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 60,000-square-foot grand ballroom, a 20,000-square-foot junior ballroom, and 84 breakout rooms. The space also features a terrace where attendees can step out, mingle, and soak up the city's signature sunshine and ocean breeze. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to announce that the Miami Beach Convention Center will soon be home to a connecting 800-room headquarter hotel, making Miami the ultimate convenient meetings destination.
Miami also has a number of unique and memorable meeting design, the ballpark can host a variety of events and boasts award-winning catering, onsite parking, and extras like customized Marlin souvenirs and corporate batting practice sessions.
Special event venues offer even more options for Miami event planning professionals. The Miami Metro Zoo has numerous colorful and unique venues for groups, ranging in capacity from 20 to 100 guests. For larger accommodations, seating for up to 2,600 is available at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, which serves as home to year-round comedy, concert, and television productions. Cruises, resorts, gardens, museums – Miami is bursting with sites available to host guests with a distinctive Miami flair..
The South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center is a $51-million world-class, multi-disciplinary performing arts center. Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), located in Downtown Miami's Museum Park alongside Biscayne Bay, is Miami-Dade County's flagship museum, presenting international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. This facility offers 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor program space.
The Adrienne Arsht Center is one of the world's leading performing arts organizations and venues. Since opening in 2006, the Adrienne Arsht Center has emerged as a leader in presenting innovative programming that mirrors South Florida's diversity, as well as a catalyst for billions of dollars in new development in the Downtown Miami area.
The New World Symphony offers a flexible, uniquely shaped space that hosts presentations of all types, including general sessions and summits, concerts, theatrical events, live webcast presentations, broadcast productions, and Grammy-winning album recordings. A myriad of distinctive seating and stage variations enable the performance hall at the New World Center to remove the boundaries of traditional presentation formats and minimize the distance between the audience and the stage. The New World Center's flat floor, full seat retraction configuration can accommodate up to 1,200 with both fixed and floor seating, or 400 seated for dinner.
For offsite activities and events, the biggest hurdle for planners is narrowing down Miami's options. Sporting events are always a hit with groups, and Miami plays host to all kinds throughout the year, including the Miami Open, The Orange Bowl, The Miami Marathon, and more. Beach volleyball games and sunset cruises along the Intracoastal Waterway are always popular.
Miami's diversity can be felt everywhere, from its people to its neighborhoods. One of the best ways to experience that diversity is through Miami's rich culinary scene, which offers groups a chance to sample gourmet cuisine from every corner of the earth. In their off time, attendees can also explore the world's third largest barrier reef, shop the world's largest collection of designer boutiques, or explore Greater Miami's two national parks — Biscayne National Park and Everglades National Park.
Miami is a great place to host your next event. It offers world-class facilities, year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and a world-class art scene. Miami and the Beaches – the center of it all.

Lori Wyman is repeatedly asked to teach local actors the ins and outs of auditioning for film and television. It started while she was casting the television series "Miami Vice" and continues today. This very popular workshop has grown from her vast knowledge and these continuing requests.
This on-camera weekend workshop began in 1988 and is now taught all over the country. The classes are kept small to ensure lots of camera time per person. The participants receive individual critiques, as well as the ability to watch their fellow classmates. This interactive observation is priceless! Everyone discovers what works and what doesn't for an audition.
How does it work?
Everyone is given "sides" to take home and work on.. You are filmed as you deliver the side.
Time and time again, participants call after taking this class to tell us that they have used the techniques taught in the class. They are steadily booking those roles that previously were elusive.
Lori also sprinkles in lots of motivational anecdotes and stories. She continually keeps the actors in a positive frame of mind. She has discovered that this positive approach helps when they go out into the auditioning arena, because now they have only amazing thoughts and confidence of being able to conquer the world.
If you want to feel this same way about your auditions, this is the course for you.
Who else is this workshop for?
This workshop is for almost anyone interested in acting. It has been proven very beneficial to stage actors who want to learn the nuances that will help them cross over into film and television. It is also for actors who have been working for years and need that extra spark that has a tendency to dwindle in time.
This workshop is held at our casting studio in North Miami Beach, Florida.

Tried to clean the kitchen sink so many time with no result?! No worry, I have the perfect solution for you. A DIY idea that will clean your sink efficiently and also will help you get rid of the many germs. And this DIY home project is chemicals free, meaning you won't be using any of those expensive solutions that you can buy from the store. Make your sink look as new just by following a few simple steps.
You will need the following supplies: baking soda, salt (use rock salt), dish liquid soap (the one that you use), vinegar, lemons, a toothbrush, a sponge and clean cloth's.
Follow the instructions: Start by wetting the sink surface. Take the baking soda and add it on the wet surface. Use the sponge and start brushing the sink surface. You will see that the baking soda and the water will become a paste. Leave it for approx. 5 minutes. Use plenty of water and rinse the sink surface. Now take the toothbrush and clean the caulk seal of the sink. Use once again baking soda and scrub the caulk seal very well. Rinse again with lots of water. If you want you can repeat the procedure. Use a big cloth and soak it in vinegar. Cover the bottom of the sink with the cloth. Let everything sit for approx. 20 minutes. Take out the cloth, use the sponge and soap to clean the bottom of the sink and plenty of water to rinse. Now all you have to do is to take the lemons, cut them into pieces and add them in the caulk seal. Turn on the warm water and also the garbage disposal. By adding the lemons into the caulk seal, your drain will be clean and also it will smell nice. Enjoy!!!
Note: Do not add ammonia or bleach on your stainless steel sink. It will do a lot of damage to the sink.

Three members of the ANHC staff recently attended a training workshop at the Department of Arkansas Heritage (DAH) headquarters taught by Brandon Guillot of Unmanned Aerial Solutions of Arkansas. Staff members from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP) and the Department of Arkansas Heritage (DAH) were also in attendance.
DAH owns an unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly called a drone. The ANHC hopes to use the drone to inspect and evaluate large remote tracts of land, inspect contract work and timber thinning operations, evaluate damage to historic resources following natural disasters, provide a valuable aerial perspective for documenting and evaluating land features, and provide photos and video for promotional and educational purposes. The workshop was the first step for staff in becoming licensed to fly the drone.
Brent Baker, botanist; Bryan Rupar, chief of Acquisitions and Stewardship; and Michael Conway, GIS/Database Analyst attended the workshop earlier this month. Later in the month, they practiced flying the drone with the instructor at Murray Park in Little Rock. Next, the participants must take and pass the Federal Aviation Administration's aeronautical knowledge test.
By training to use drones to assist with our mission, ANHC is providing yet another example of how science and technology can work together to preserve our natural heritage. Using drones for tasks on our natural areas increases our agency's staff efficiency, in line with Governor Hutchinson's goals for Arkansas state government.

Howdy Hawkeyes,
It's Alec here with some exciting Hawkeye Hacks and general stories. Last Wednesday, the Student Outreach Staff walked around the Pentacrest asking UI students to give their Hawkeye Hacks to incoming students. What they had to say was great, and everyone has their own "Hacks" for succeeding here, but it was not what they said that inspired me, it was why they stopped to talk in the first place.
The University of Iowa is a large campus. There are times where even with so many students around us, we feel alone. Dozens of Hawkeyes had the opportunity to make their impact on incoming students, and they did. They chose to take time out of their day to share tips and tricks to help incoming students. That is truly what separates this University from all the rest. This was just another reminder that Hawks help Hawks and that the people at Iowa never fail to amaze me.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared their Hawkeye Hacks with us. As you read through them, maybe you will find a new way to be even more successful here!
"Go to supplimental instruction, easiest way to boost your grade in a class." – Burger, first year student
"Manage your time wisely." – Zoey, first year student
"Go with the flow, and enjoy your time. – Chiihan, First year student
"Get involved early, and narrow your passions." – Haley, Senior
"Hand write your notes, limit your distractions." – Allison, Senior
"Use your resources. This campus offers so many great resources, they are free!" – Mariama, Junior
Push through these final weeks Hawkeyes, you are almost done!

Date(s) - Thursday, March 30
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Panera, Downtown Brooklyn
One of the things we're obligated to do as an incorporated social club is to hold these public meetings once a year, where we elect the Board for the coming year and then look at home much money we don't have, how many people aren't members, and discuss the things we'd like to try to get done over the coming twelve months.
Well, that time is upon us again. We'll be meeting at 7:30pm at Panera, 345 Adams Street, Brooklyn. The meeting is open to the public, of course, but only paid members of the Kiwi Club are eligible to vote — including anyone who renews their membership before the meeting. So please check your membership status at kiwiclubny.org and renew!

The 57,000-square-foot facility will offer community members of all ages a library with space for additional technology to learn new skills, expanded collections, more programs, on-site parking, drive-up convenience, and many more resources and services.
The goal is to start construction of a new building in spring 2018, with a prospective opening date in mid-year 2019. Keep up with progress on new building plans at gpldnewbuilding.org. Please contact us anytime at email@example.com.

'The Librarian Recommends'
Library assistant Erin Wittry recommends "The Indigo Girl" by Natasha Boyd. She says: "This is a historical fiction account of Eliza Lucas, a young girl who brought indigo dye-making to the States and saved her plantation while bringing about South Carolina's largest export. Although largely overlooked throughout history, Eliza was a girl ahead of her time who ran her family's plantation, while also illegally teaching slaves how to read and refusing to be married off to any suitors thrown her way. History, young adult, romance and feminist readers rejoice!"
