Vintage? I find they age better than I expected, but the closure types may also be relevant.

I was not aware that this was so individually performed. I have now also followed my Mastodon account with my Blue sky account. I will see what happens

So, now that non-Masto places are "in the Fediverse," I see on BlueSky that this post appears there if you follow my Masto account from there.But it seems like very limited integration. I made a reply there to myself, and that only appears THERE, not here. I don't even get notice of a reply here!
Meanwhile,you can follow my Threads account FROM here, but Threads won't allow following Masto from Threads. One-way.
On the whole, if there's not better integration that this, who cares? #fediverse

This 2017 Aspros Lagos (Douloufakis on Crete) is Vidiano in acacia and oak. Deep and dry, it has good balancing acidity and some touches of maturity, but it is doing great. It should continue to hold for a few more years, perhaps more than anticipated. That tight, tense finish is enticing. It's best with food. About $35, 14.1% #wine #greece #crete

I'm running Android with a S23 Ultra and the new 6.1 UI for Samsung. I've always been able to add, move or delete the google search widget. I've not heard of any of that changing with, say, an S24, which is still using 6.1 UI.
