The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

I'm sorry for your loss. Pets are never with us long enough.
ReplyDeleteAh, I’m so sorry. Spent an hour last weekend recapturing our youngest after her big brother pushed her out the door. She hates the outside. They’re such darlings…the little shits.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry. Just terrible.
ReplyDeleteHope all else is going as well as it can up there.
In her heart she was always convinced that she was still a tiny shivery kitten who could fit inside my dressing-gown beside me if she squeezed enough. This was enough to convince me that I was also 16 years younger. Without her, the illusion is shattered.
ReplyDeleteA once-in-a-lifetime cat. I suppose a lot of people don't even get that. Still, dead inside without her.
Hello Smut Clyde,
ReplyDeleteYou've always been doing a veery interesting reporting on many things Science - please don't stop. Please go on.
I've never been w/o a (pair of) cat(s) for 45 years now, and I think I can understand what you're through at the moment. And Margareth [16y - because of Thatcher - strong will] and Pepe [15y - The Pew] both agree.
Please, please go on.
Great reaad thanks
