This is the weekly columnCava is Spanish sparkling wine made using the traditional method developed in Champagne, right?Not so simple. In 1872, Spain's first méthode champenoise sparkling wine was made in the Penedès region of Catalonia, the steadfastly independent northeastern area of Spain with Barcelona as its capitol.France insists traditional method sparkling wine can only be called Champagne if it is made in Champagne. So Spaniards came up with “Cava” and establishing the Cava Denominación de Origen (DO). Although not a strict cava requirement, the Spanish grapes xarel-lo, madabeo, and parellada were the predominant grapes, in the same way chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier are primary grapes in Champagne.Keith Williamson photoCava holds a middle-niche in the sparkling world. French Champagne is the aristocratic pour, almost always costing $50 or a lot more. Italian prosecco is everyman's sparkling, made using a tank method that keeps prices in the $9-18 range. Cava hits the price point between, $15-35.Spain had a winning hand. Makers could argue they matched Champagne quality at half the price, while being more sophisticated than prosecco. Spanish makers made impressive manufacturing modernizations that reduced labor costs without sacrificing quality. Production soared to 250 million bottles, led by mega-producers Freixenet and Codorníu.So far, so good, except cava production spread throughout Spain. While the Penedès region remained the heart and soul of cava, starting in the 1990s the cava brand stopped identifying Penedès sparkling and became a generic term for Spanish sparkling. Cava stood for a Spanish production method rather than a specific terroir.The Penedès region struck back. In 2012, makers established a distinctive wine category—Classic Penedès—to celebrate and proudly identify the Catalan winemaking identity. Classic Penedès requires wines to be organic and estate-bottled. Each bottle must be vintage-dated, include the disgorgement date. They must age for at least 15 months. Oh, and it has to be produced in Catalonia's Penedès region.In 2017, the requirements were formalized with the creation of the Corpinnat collective. The name etymologically means “born in the heart of Penedès.” A Corpinnat spokesperson explains: “We're spreading the message that our place makes the wine, not just the method. Corpinnat emphasizes location over production technique.”Fastidious care of the land is part of the deal. In 2025, Penedès will become the world's first wine region to become 100% organic.Spanish cava is a delicious value. But if you want the highest quality—a quality that rivals Champagne at much less the price—look for wines with Corpinnat on the label.Last roundHow much do rainbows weigh? Not much.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 19, 2025 is: fastidious • fass-TID-ee-us • adjective Someone described as fastidious is extremely or overly careful about how they do something. Fastidious may also describe someone who is difficult to please, or someone who always wants to be clean, neat, etc. // Our parents taught us to be fastidious in keeping our rooms clean, making sure to dust every surface and sweep out every corner. // He's a fastidious dresser whose fashion choices seem to anticipate the newest trends. See the entry > Examples: "Becoming Led Zeppelin, filmmaker Bernard MacMahon's new documentary about the band, certainly succeeds at taking Led Zeppelin seriously, in ways that might disappoint some viewers but that I found both compelling and refreshing. Becoming Led Zeppelin doesn't hide that it's an authorized biopic … but the film is so fastidious and detail-oriented that it never feels like hagiography." — Jack Hamilton, Slate, 11 Feb. 2025 Did you know? If you presume that the adjective fastidious bears some relation to fast, not so fast. Fastidious comes from Latin fastidium, meaning "aversion" or "disgust." Fastidium is believed to be a combination of fastus, meaning "arrogance," and taedium, "irksomeness" or "disgust." (Taedium is also the source of tedium and tedious.) In keeping with its Latin roots, fastidious once meant "haughty," "disgusting," and "disagreeable," but the word is now most often applied to people who are very meticulous or overly difficult to please, or to work which reflects a demanding or precise attitude. Our own fastidiousness requires us to point out that the familiar adjective fast comes not from Latin, but from Old English.

In this episode, Dr. Kranthi Mandadi, Professor of Plant Pathology and Microbiology at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Weslaco, Texas, joins host Matt Kasson to discuss his basic and translational research of fastidious (unculturable) plant pathogens including the causal agents of citrus greening disease (HLB) and zebra chip disease. He talks about his lab's innovative approaches to combatting plant diseases throughout the southern U.S. and his Texas-sized ambitions to develop solutions through public-private partnerships with industry. He also discusses the challenges of working with obligate unculturable plant pathogens and the need to balance basic science pursuits with high-risk / high-reward research.

Fastidious is an adjective that means very attentive and concerned about accuracy.  Coming from the Middle English period, our word of the day gets its origin from the Latin word fastidiosus (foss tee dee OH soose) which initially meant ‘disagreeable.' By the late 17th century, the word shifted into fastidious and took on its current meaning. Here it is in use: I can be pretty fastidious when it comes to doing my job as the local baseball team's scorekeeper. If I wasn't extremely careful and attentive to it, we could award a victory to the wrong team.

We are picky, picky people. The cars we drive, the food we eat, the designer labels we choose. We are so excessively fastidious when it comes to what we choose...except when it comes to our thoughts and emotions! We tend to be super reactive when it comes to how we feel and think, telling ourselves it's someone's fault for "making" us feel a certain way or life is "happening to us" so we don't have a choice for how we react. WE CALL BULLSHIT!You, and only you, are responsible for your thoughts and emotions. So let's get super excessively fastidious about them like you would your morning coffee. The choosier you are about every detail, the happier you become. Listen in to find out how.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 13, 2022 is: fastidious • fass-TID-ee-us • adjective Fastidious means "showing extreme care when doing something." Less commonly, it may be used to describe a person who is difficult to please. // The handbags have clearly been made with fastidious attention to detail. // The quality of food and service at the restaurant should appeal to even the most fastidious diner.

The Book Club @ Leitrim Daily is in session for June 2021. Our Book Club panel met once again to share their thoughts on their latest selection, the multiple award winning debut novel from Douglas Stuart, ’Shuggie Bain’. The club’s host Mary Blake is joined by retired librarian Hilda King, Orlagh Kelly of The Reading Room Bookshop in Carrick on Shannon and Michael Geoghegan to work their way through this first full length novel from the winner of The Sunday Times Audible Short Story Award. This will be the last episode of the Book Club for this season as the panel take a summer break. You can get all books covered in the series from The Reading Room Bookshop in Carrick on Shannon. Contact Orlagh at 071 9671580. You’ll even get 10% off the book when you mention the Book Club @ Leitrim Daily. About ‘Shuggie Bain' by Douglas Stuart It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners’ children pick on him and adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of Édouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.

About 'House of Glass' by Hadley Freeman After her grandmother died, Hadley Freeman travelled to her apartment to try and make sense of a woman she'd never really known. Sala Glass was a European expat in America – defiantly clinging to her French influences, famously reserved, fashionable to the end – yet to Hadley much of her life remained a mystery. Sala's experience of surviving one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history was never spoken about. When Hadley found a shoebox filled with her grandmother's treasured belongings, it started a decade-long quest to find out their haunting significance and to dig deep into the extraordinary lives of Sala and her three brothers. The search takes Hadley from Picasso's archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island and to Auschwitz. By piecing together letters, photos and an unpublished memoir, Hadley brings to life the full story of the Glass siblings for the first time: Alex's past as a fashion couturier and friend of Dior and Chagall; trusting and brave Jacques, a fierce patriot for his adopted country; and the brilliant Henri who hid in occupied France – each of them made extraordinary bids for survival during the Second World War. And alongside her great-uncles' extraordinary acts of courage in Vichy France, Hadley discovers her grandmother's equally heroic but more private form of female self-sacrifice. A moving memoir following the Glass siblings throughout the course of the twentieth-century as they each make their own bid for survival, House of Glass explores assimilation, identity and home – issues that are deeply relevant today.

When approached with creativity, passion, and clarity of purpose, any beer style can be great. Quick sours—in the hands of Urban Artifact’s (https://www.artifactbeer.com) Bret Kollman Baker—are an object lesson in this intense approach, which transcends style basics to achieve a high level of sophistication and nuance. Urban Artifact only make sour beer, and that singular approach means they have no choice but to make them well. In this episode of the podcast, Kollman Baker gets into the fine points of brewing quick-soured beers, including: Kettle-souring without the kettle Temperature impacts on kettle-souring Pasteurizing puréed fruit in the brewhouse for ideal fruit expression Designing different base beers to bring out the best traits in each fruit Adjusting water chemistry to maximize fruit expression Yeast management in acidic beers Winemakers’ tricks applied to fruit beers Contextual approaches to different fruit processing Avoiding off-flavors in difficult fruits like strawberries Managing actual versus perceived acidity Massaging consumer expectations through descriptions And much more. Kollman Baker isn’t afraid to speak his mind, believing deeply in the artful approach they’ve adopted. Making great quick-soured beer is not a fluke—it’s the product of thoughtful people optimizing processes to achieve the best possible outcome. Just because their souring process is faster than longer mixed-culture methods doesn’t mean it’s less valid, less flavorful, or a shortcut. On the contrary, Kollman Baker embraces techniques that produce the better tasting beer, adjusting brewhouse workflow to optimize for this end product. *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): Nearly 2,000 breweries across the US, Canada & Mexico partner with G&D Chillers.

In post-war Italy TB was still rife and notices in buses commanded “No Spitting”. In Britain in 1946 the message “Coughs and sneezes spread diseases” promoted the use of handkerchiefs to catch the germ-laden droplets. Presumably a reasonably successful public health campaign, although if you are trapped like a sardine in a rush-hour tube train, you may have no alternative but to sneeze into the shoulder of the person jammed in front of you. Reducing droplet spread is a great step forward, but rhinoviruses are also transferred from noses to hands and so to any surface we touch. They survive there for several hours for the next person grabbing the handrail or turning on the tap to pick up. So do more dangerous infective agents from other sources. Hence the slogan I recall from my childhood “Now wash your hands”. So, a century after Semmelweis published his paper on reducing the spread of infection in maternity wards, his advice had reached the Department of Health. If followed today, it could cut gastrointestinal upsets by a third, reduce sickness absence from school and work, and save the UK economy more than £1 billion every year. But the E coli counts on peanuts set out for grabs on pub bars demonstrate that the general public still isn’t heeding the message. A surgical scrub isn’t necessary, but the more thorough the wash, the better. The NHS recommends washing with soap (antibacterial not helpful) for as long as it takes to sing ‘Happy Birthday to You’. Twice. Though as most of the pathogens are on the fingertips, even waving the fingers under a dribbling tap may be better than nothing. Wet hands still pass on a lot of pathogens, but effective drying removes almost all the bugs. Dryers in public toilets are a relatively recent introduction – the researchers of the 1965 Good Loo Guide found that less than five percent of public toilets had hot air dryers, though they probably had roller towels. Paper towels came later. Jet dryers (OK, Dyson Airblades ®) are a 21st century invention. Which works best? Cloth towels are quick and effective, though try finding a clean area on a jammed roller towel. Studies comparing the effectiveness of paper and jet dryers are limited, and the results tend to support the product of the industry which sponsored them. It does seem clear that jet dryers are more economical than paper towels, which have to be sourced, delivered, stocked, cleared away, and disposed of in landfill. Add in the cost of calling the plumber to unblock the loos and the fire service to put out fires in waste baskets. But on the road to reduction of infection, cost isn’t even a surrogate end point, it’s just a station on a by-line for institutions that are counting the pennies, not the pathogens. The paper industry claims that jet dryers blast bugs into the air. The jet dryer industry claims more effectiveness and less mess. The only independent study, a literature search by the Mayo clinic in 2012, found (in a 2009 survey) that most members of the US public preferred paper towels, and recommended that single-use paper towels be used in health care settings. The bottom line is, do people use whatever drying method is provided? And do they use it effectively? Time is one hurdle. Traditional hot air dryers are too slow. Jet dryers are quick, but not that quick, and if there is a queue and the curtain is about to go up on the final act, you probably shake your hands and rush to your seat. Paper towels are quicker. But paper towels dissolving to pulp on a wet floor don’t encourage users to spend time doing even a cursory wash. Poorly maintained facilities may make users feel they need to clean themselves of the grot, but probably make it more difficult to do so. Fastidious users don’t like the idea of contaminating themselves with other people’s germs,

So Kevin went to his periodontist this week, and had his stitches out. This means that he can eat more that liquids, and so Ursula lets him choose what to have based on what he can eat. So there are a LOT of soft foods, like bean pasta, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans. There is also beer, wine, tea drink, packages from our friends, and at least one item that is pink. All that and a whole lot more when We Eat It, So You Don't Have To!

With my recent move to Toronto, this could be the last episode of Beyond The Handle. If it is, thank-you to all of the guests, listeners, and bands who have given me permission to feature their music! This was a whole lot of fun! Episode 25 is a milestone for two reasons: It's our 25th show, and it could be the last show as well since I moved to Toronto over the course of August. To commemorate, the episode features me! Your host @sliiiiip is interviewed by guest host @poopsmckenzee and our pal Kid Tetris. We talk all sorts of stuff that I can't remember because we taped the interview almost a month ago, and I've spent the rest of my time moving.
