And by a year we mean three months. 😂

All wines has sulfites. The occur naturally.

They're also extremely over used in some wines. Lots of people blame them for headaches, but I think they are more the poster child and get blamed because it's what people know.

High sulfite wine has a ton of other additives as well and any of those 73 ingredients that don't have to be listed on a imwine label could be giving you a headache

Buying wine is a Life or Death decision.

No, not for you. For the wine!

Most bottles are filtered to death☠️

While unfiltered wine is alive and vibrant

Breaking down Filtered vs Unfiltered🍷🧵

Big wine companies filter hard.

At their scale consistency is the #1 priority.

Zero surprises. Every bottle has to match.

Boutique producers can play a different game.

We can monitor each barrel, catch small changes, and make decisions in real time.

When you're close to the wine, filtering isn't always necessary.

This isn't just about removing any sediment or haze.

Filtering strips out yeast, bacteria and polyphenols.

These are the pieces that give wine texture, structure, and the ability to change over time.

By removing the part of the wine that makes it evolve.

You’re killing its soul.

Unfiltered wines move.

They open up over hours. They taste different on day two than they did when the cork came out.

Filtered wines do change, but not nearly as much.

There's less inside to react, expand, or unfold.

Filtered wines always look clean.

Unfiltered wines sometimes don’t.

But clarity has nothing to do with character.

And cloudiness isn't the same as flaw.

You can’t see whether a wine is alive.

You have to experience it.

There’s no ingredient label on wine.

No list of added acids or enzymes or concentrates.

But if a winemaker skips filtering, there's a good chance they’re skipping other heavy-handed tricks too.

It’s not a guarantee. But it’s one of the few clues you get.

I'm not here to tell you that "Raw Wine" is your healthy drinking solution.

Unfiltered wine does contain yeast and bacteria, but it's not enough to fix your gut.

However, if you already eat raw honey, drink raw milk, or ferment your own vegetables, this fits within that framework.

Unfortunately, most bottles don’t say filtered or unfiltered.

Many unfiltered wines don’t mention it.

And most filtered wines won’t admit it.

You have to ask. You have to know your winemaker.

Because the best wines still have a pulse and can't be found at the grocery store.

Most wine is filtered to death.

And once you taste Living Wine, it’s hard to go back.

I make Unfiltered Wine in Colorado and am happy to answer any questions.

If this helped you understand wine differently, please help me spread the word by reNOSTing it.

You surfing as well? 🤙

You have the exit shot too?

I made a mistake during my Bitcoin lecture last week in the university of Bologna. One I’m not going to repeat. I assumed something. And I shouldn’t have.

Since I was talking about my job, I told the students that a big part of it is debunking myths around Bitcoin...

You know, the usual stuff: Bitcoin is a Ponzi, it’s going to zero, it’s killing the planet. I built like 15 slides for this. I was ready to fight. Ready to debunk every single one of them, one by one.

So I asked them: “What’s something negative you’ve heard about Bitcoin?”

Silence. No one raised their hand. No one mentioned pollution. No one said anything about volatility or scams. These were 22 years old, curious, open-minded, and genuinely there to learn. They didn’t have myths to unlearn.

So there I was, spending the next 20 minutes talking about gas flaring, carbon-negative mining, and all the reasons Bitcoin is not what “they” say it is. But “they,” in this case, didn’t even exist. The only person bringing up those narratives was me.

And that’s when it hit me. All these years in the Bitcoin scene have trained my brain to always be on the defensive. To expect resistance. To anticipate criticism. And that mindset slowly killed a part of the joy I used to feel when I first learned about Bitcoin.

Back then, no one had told me it was bad. I just found it exciting, revolutionary, empowering. My brain wasn’t busy filtering negative takes it was busy being amazed.

That beginner’s energy, that childish awe, that sense of discovering something precious, it’s something I want to reconnect with. I don’t want to be the person who walks into a room full of open minds and immediately starts talking about the bad things people say.

I want to talk about freedom from banks and government, creativity, women empowerment, potential. I’m not saying I’ll stop responding to critics when necessary. But I want to stop assuming that everyone is a critic.

There are way more people out there who are just curious, interested, open to learning, than there are loud contrarians I’ll never change the mind of anyway.

From now on, I want to speak to the curious ones. Not the ghosts in my head.

If there’s one thing nostr is lacking it’s photos of shirtless jungle guys surfing.

What's swimming in a public pool then?

Freedom is not being able to say what you want, but being able to say it and have nothing happen to you.

Just got fined for not paying a tax I didn't know existed. Reaching previously unimaginable levels of contempt for the state.

I have a couple notes myself if the ghibli takeover. I think it’s largely over now -like a one day event
