Have you ever tasted rosé made with Saint Laurent? Saint Laurent, a highly aromatic dark-skinned grape variety, is believed to be an offspring of Pinot Noir with an unknown second parent. Its origin remains a mystery. ​ ​ Commonly grown in Austria, Germany, and Slovakia, Saint Laurent is gaining popularity in the new worlds, like California, Canada, and New Zealand. It’s also the most widely planted red variety in the Czech Republic. ​ ​ Still, dry Saint Laurent dominates the major production but sparkling, dry rosé and sweet style can also be found. ​ ​ Saint Laurent usually exhibits bouquet of red rose, red berries, Morell cherry, cardamon, tobacco and savory spices on the nose. On the palate, it’s bright with dark lush fruit, sandy tannins, good structure, and with potential to age. ​ ​ @brucekuo.brooklyn made this quick pasta dish after work by using @valentepasta Black Olive & Garlic Fettuccine with ground pork, Chinese chive, and Radicchio Rosso de Chioggia with an Asian twist. He added in a little soy sauce while sauteing the ground pork. Nice touch! ​ ​ I paired the dish with @borelldiehl Saint Laurent Rosé Trocken. I love how the acidity and savoryness of the Rosé compliments the pasta. ​ Do you notice the color of the Rosé and Radicchio? They match! 💕​ ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce #rose ​ #wineofgermany #stlaurent #pfalzwine ​ #borelldiehl #germanwine #sustainablewine ​ #picoftheday #rosélover #foodandwine ​ #winepairing #wineanddine #roseallday ​ #asianwineprofessionals #valentepasta​ #womeninwine #homecooking ​ #winetime #sommelier #ワイン #포도주 ​ #部落客 #餐酒 #餐酒搭配 #葡萄酒 ​ #粉紅酒 #品酒 #侍酒師

Small Town Charm Meets World Class Wine: Say Hello to Paso Robles Wines​ ​ Located on California’s Central Coast, halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Paso Robles AVA encompasses more than 40,000 acres under vine and is home to 200 plus wineries. ​ ​ ​ Established in 1983, Paso Robles AVA is comprised of 11 sub-regions with diverse topography (from river bottom to rolling hills, and flat lands to mountains), distinct climate (greatest diurnal temperature swing in CA and long growing season), and with more than 30 parent soil series founded in the region. Recent research discovered that Paso Robles has the most calcareous and siliceous soil in CA. Fascinating, right? ​ ​ ​ Known for their Zinfandel and Rhone blends, the most widely planted varieties in Paso Robles are Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Merlot and Syrah, along with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and other grape varieties. You can definitely find a style that suits your palate. 😉​ ​ So fortunate to have joined the zoom tasting led by @cftaranto with @pasowine and sampled 3 family-owned wineries, @calizawinery @linnecalodo and @calcareouswine . What incites me the most is how the calcareous soil makes a huge impact on growing vines in the region and the studies still continues. ​ ​ Stay tuned to my posts as I will come up a dish to pair with each wine. Until then, grab a bottle of Paso Robles wine. Go explore. ​ ​ #酒意思 #sipwithjoyce #pasowine​ #pasowinecounty #californiawine #wineoclock ​ #winedown #drinkpaso #sample

| #拒絕的學問 | 每次向孩子say NO，他都會很大反應，怎樣才能有技巧地拒絕他？ ｜回答 by 父母效能訓練認證導師 Winnie@mamacoach_hongkong ｜ ◤……很多父母習慣傳統權威式的溝通，例如「不可以」、「不行」、「不准」等語句，都是帶著命令和強硬的意思，會讓孩子有被逼迫的感覺，導致父母有父母講，子女卻「#左耳入右耳出」。 「#我訊息」是父母效能訓練中的溝通技巧，是指父母表達意見時，語句主要以「我」為開始，也包含對對方行為的描述、自己當下的感受和對方行為對自己的直接影響，令親子雙方能夠更有效溝通。 父母可運用「我訊息」，向孩子表達不可接受的行為，如此一來，孩子會感到較聽得入耳，減少雙方的拉鋸。以下是例子： 「不可以玩水」➡️「媽媽喜歡乾淨，如果要玩水，只可以在浴室裡玩，因為在其他地方玩，媽媽就要花時間清理。」 「不可以跑」➡️「請慢慢行！」「過馬路要牽著媽媽！」 「這樣就乖」➡️「媽媽見到你遵守約定，在浴室裡玩水，我感到很安慰，因為媽媽不用花時間清理。」 如果以上的基本功你已學懂了，那讓我向你介紹一種更厲害的「我訊息」——它能夠將「不」換成「可以」、轉化成一種更巧妙的拒絕方式。 如孩子在飯前吵著要吃零食，家長可以說：「#可以啊，但必須先把飯吃完。」或輕鬆地回應他的渴望：「你想在吃飯前把所有零食也吃光光對嗎？媽媽說過吃了飯才可以。」 當孩子聽到時，會感受到被看見需求，會有期待、滿足和安全感，不會有反抗心理……◤（節錄） ＝＝＝＝＝ 作者：MamaCoach Winnie，父母效能訓練（Parent Effectiveness Training）認證導師及家長教練。育有一對青春期子女，熱愛學習各式育兒法，在家實踐，並與身邊父母分享。 #親子 #家長教育 #育兒 #教養 #港爸 #港媽 ✏️看全文✏️ 👉🏼到popa.qa，搜尋 #安全的苦難 👉🏼留意當日story 👉🏼如果都係搵唔到，可以DM我哋幫手
