Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🫂🤙🏻

Having chickens is one of the best decisions i have ever made. We eat lots of eggs, and we havent had to buy eggs for a long time. Chickens are a great source of food security, and also entertainment. Plus you get some manure for the compost pile. #grownostr #chickens #homesteading GetSomeChickens

I don’t always slice a finger up, but when I do, I make sure it’s in a very public place and I’m wearing white pants 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've run into the infinite nacho problem with these crochet blankets.

I made the first one with two colors, a bright stripe and a creamy white. Finished the blanket when the bright stripes yarn ran out but had plenty of white leftover.

This left me with no choice but to buy another colorful yarn to make another blanket to use up the white, naturally.

Now I'm nearing the end of this second blanket and lo, I'm running out of the white. I'll have to buy more but then I will have an excess of white again.

And thus, my hand will be forced to buy yet another colorful yarn to use up the white in a third blanket.

when will this end? am I going to be making blankets indefinitely?

Yes, there is a wine ingredient called Mega Purple

And it's more common than you’d think.

Once you know how to spot it, you’ll taste it everywhere.

And you’ll never look at cheap red wine the same way again. 🧵🍷

Mega Purple is a thick, sweet, inky extract made from a grape called Rubired.

Just a small dose adds deep color, smooth texture, and a candied finish to otherwise forgettable wine.

It’s grape-derived—but that doesn’t mean it’s good.

It started as a way to rescue weak vintages. But now it’s everywhere.

If you’re drinking wine from a box, or paying under $15 a bottle, especially for jammy reds—there’s a good chance Mega Purple is in the mix.

Think of it as a type of pancake style makeup for wine.

You won’t find it on the label. Wine doesn’t have to list ingredients.

But there are signs:

- Over-the-top purple color

- Sticky sweetness

- Flavors like grape jelly, vanilla extract, and artificial chocolate

Mega Purple is often used to mask poor fruit—like overcropped vines, underripe grapes, or wine rushed through fermentation.

And if it’s in there, it probably came with friends:

Velcorin, powdered tannins, added sugar, oak flavoring, enzymes, coloring agents.

At that point, it’s more of a science experiment than wine.

Wine made with better grapes and fewer tricks costs more.

That wine tells a story. Real terroir, real flavors, real art.

But more importantly, Low Intervention wine will probably leave you feeling a hell of a lot better the day after drinking it.

What's that worth?

Most people have no idea what’s actually in their wine.

I’ll be posting more about how to find bottles worth drinking and how to see past the veil the industry hides behind.

If this helped you, it'd help me if you liked or reNOSTed the first post or followed along!

Cheers!
