Why do they list Chablis different from Chardonnay? Both are made from Chardonnay. Weird.

My favorite wine to make is montepulciano. such a great wine.

A lighter white wine is easier to make, usually made from just the juice, and can be drank sooner, so might be a good choice to get started.

A big full bodied red wine often takes a while to age, at least 6 months if not 12-24 months, so you'll have delayed gratification.

You could make both!

I am far from a wine tasting expert so I will leave those suggestions to the pros but just a few other thoughts:

Some family members make cab sav every year and they are drinking it within 9 months. Should it sit longer? Probably however I have had more then a few glasses of it and think its perfectly drinkable. I let a carboy sit for almost 2 years and it definitely was better.

A common recommendation for new wine makers is to do a batch of "dragon's blood" while waiting for your first grape batch to be ready. This is a fruity, quick recipe that is cheap and tastes amazing. If you google it the recipe is available.

Lastly it is important to understand that when making your own wine you control the "sweetness" by back sweetening with sugar after fermenting. I like dry wines so normally reisling isn't my favorite but I just finished a dry version and its great. You could also do a sweet version of a wine that is normally dry. The purests might scoff but if I am making it I make it how I like

“Beginner wine” is an odd thing for me to read, but as you pointed out to consider the aging process, I guess it makes sense.

If you want quicker results then do White Zinfandel as you typically don’t need to mess with it and it’s ready in a few months.

To be frank, I don’t think there’s any reason why you shouldn’t do a wine you really like, so stick with Syrah.

Not suggesting any titles, but if you make an account on TV5 Monde Plus there are plenty of free movies and documentaries on the platform and most also have Romanian subtitles (although for learning I would suggest to use French subtitles).

I watchdd Les Choristes and The Intouchables (pretty sure every french class watches these movies at some point haha) 

If you are interested un real informative documentaries, you can check some French channels on YouTube. Even though it's not exactly documentaries, but I find French YouTubers are doing some fine work! 

What about millions of yt videos on various topics

There are a lot of documentaries in french on YouTube, some of them may even have subtitles

We can see the roots of some of the many contemporary problems in Syria in this colonial venture.

You can have a wine tasting anywhere if you are ungovernable.

Mignon's does one monthly. White Pillars often puts one on. Lamuse 131 also does one regularly. Vestige's chef and White Pillars chef are doing a tasting and wine pairing 9/28.

Check out 701 they have great food, cocktails, and wine. Boho also has some good wine.

Lola looks stunning

I love this color on Lola but the dress is a little unflattering on the sides. The ruching is throwing the look off.

Nothing to see here, just three stars at their prime, absolutely shining! I’m so happy for them.

Interesting - especially if it is detailed enough for people to learn how to actually grow grapes and make wine in real life! Would be interesting for permaculture to have a farm-stead simulator where you can learn to grow your own food etc - which can inspire people to make the transition in real life!

Clicking to grapes is the best

Hey man, looks great! I'm a wine lover and living in a part of the world where wine making is huge. I've thought about something like this you're making a while ago and I've loved how your project is going so far, the graphics, the physics and environment are on point. Best wishes and happy wine making! Cheers :) <3

"Free" wine with the collectors edition then? Yes?

The longer format really suits me. I hope we see more of these in the future.

staying in the Margaux region of Bordeaux. We walked past the Château Palmer. All these wine domains have great looking stately houses.

There are a bazillion YouTube videos on this, including some that simulate the driving test, like this guy:

He speaks clearly, and the French subtitles are good. I am high B2, and I think it will be okay with some concentrated study in advance.

You probably also know that you don't necessarily have to take 20 hours of driving practice. Also, for what it's worth, in the comments on videos about the written test, I have seem many, many times people say that the actual test is easier than the practice questions.

Seems silly to move to a new state just to avoid a driving test. If your move to France is, as I understand, 1.5 years away, you should easily be able to learn enough French for the driving test. Heck, in a week you could probably learn how to at least understand all the commands you are likely to receive in a road test.

Does France have practice tests online you can study to see if you’re there yet? Quebec might most provinces in Canada do and they’re likely bilingual cause Canada.

I had to redo my motorcyle license here. My French sucks. I just did a bunch of practice questions on the practice test in French translating stuff as I went until I understood the questions. Took me a few weeks and I was able to pass the written no problem. 

The practical was easy too. All I had to understand was basic directions/instructions. 

If you start learning French now, in earnest, you won’t have a problem. 

Or you could just find a friend or family member in another state and use their address and get your license there before you move. Not supposed to do that but no one is going to check
