Quinta do Romeu Branco "Especial" Douro '16For those of you who have experienced the Branco Reserva from Quinta do Romeu in the past, please know that this wine is a totally different experience. This is not a white wine for everyone, rather a wine made in an oxidative style. The 2016 Branco Especial is produced from the very best grapes, hand picked, sorted, and gently pressed.

For those of you who have experienced the Branco Reserva from Quinta do Romeu in the past, please know that this wine is a totally different experience. This is not a white wine for everyone, rather a wine made in an oxidative style. The 2016 Branco “Especial” is produced from the very best grapes, hand-picked, sorted, and gently pressed. The blend is a mixture of indigenous Portuguese varieties, including Gouveio, Viosinho, Arinto, and Rabigato. The grapes and skins are left in contact for five days without temperature control. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in large and used Stockinger barrels (Austrian oak). The wine ages in this barrel for 18 months, without topping up. The result is a truly unique experience. Aromas of orange blossom, beeswax, and dried fruits are at play alongside those aforementioned oxidative notes, such as hazelnuts. There is medium weight on the palate, plenty of mineral notes, and fresh acidity. An extremely complex white wine that tastes great now but can evolve in bottle over another few years. Pair this with a classic salt cod preparation such as Bacalhau a Gomes de Sá. It will be magical.Shipping Notes

Cute Book
Format: Hardcover
I received a copy of this book through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute book!
It's a short, sweet, and easy to read book.
We follow Nimra as she starts middle school at a public school for the first time. She grapples with balancing her religious beliefs with her love of art and music. She also has to figure out friendships and how to not compromise on your beliefs. While Nimra talks about praying and wearing a hijab there isn't a whole lot about Islam in this book, but some context is there for anyone unfamiliar with the practice to understand why Nimra does certain things.
It's a cute middle-grade book that tackles lying, hiding things from family, making and keeping friendships, and other familiar experiences.

Important Story!
Format: Hardcover
12 year old Nimra is thrilled when her parents suggest she transfer to public school, which means she'll finally be with her best friend, Jenna. When Jenna acts strangely about Nimra's hijab on their first day, Nimra is desperate to prove she can fit in. Even though her family doesn't approve of music, Nimra joins a boy band, hoping their popularity will help repair her friendship with Jenna. She doesn't intend to remain in the band after she wins Jenna back, but the boys enter them in a fundraising benefit. Nimra's web of lies grows until she finally has to face what she's done––and figure out who she is at home and at school. A lovely story about a girl torn between her religion and the trials of middle school, this book is a recommended read.

Sweet story
Format: Hardcover
This is an enjoyable, lightweight story, perfect for middle school students. The child I bought it for is from a different culture than that depicted, and for her it was a bridge-builder in terms of helping to find commonalities and differences. It was a fun experience--effortless learning, the best kind! For others, it may be useful to see themselves reflected in the young heroine, but I can't speak to whether they will find the mirror accurate. For my reader, the conflict felt real and relatable - who hasn't experienced feeling different and excluded? And she was captured beginning to end.

excellent middle-grade novel
Format: Hardcover
This story of a muslim girl in the US and her school friends and ordinary dramas is a great addition to school libraries or public libraries and also for girl readers 9-12 or so. It's wonderful that we are getting novels about people from other faiths that are aimed at mainstream readers. It is so important for kids to read books about people from other backgrounds as well as for those from those backgrounds to have books in which they see themselves reflected. Well done!

Vampire Fantasy
Format: Kindle
Following Val through this adventure of trying to find her place in the world while cultists are literally trying to get her, made me feel like I was on the edge of my seat.
I also love the idea that vampires/werewolves(peak at Roving Darkness and the Druids Destiny) are just living everyday life like humans. This book made me wish I was living in this world because it felt so real.
Its also very sapphic
