I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Oh, hi! This is a brand new episode, earlier than I expected! I noticed recently that one of the Patreon episodes I'd scheduled for September is one that I'd already run in the main feed a few years ago. I decided to just make a new episode for this week and move the episode that would have run this week to that September slot, because I have an announcement! For our five-year anniversary I published the book Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie: Lesser-Known Mystery Animals from Around the World, with a lot of the entries taken from episodes but also some new topics added. I always intended to do a follow-up for our ten-year anniversary, and have even done a lot of work on it. It's called Small Mysteries, focusing on smaller mystery animals that don't get a lot of attention. It's about half the length of Beyond Bigfoot, all or almost all chapters taken from the podcast. But at this point, I don't think I have time to finish it. I'm staying very busy and happy, with a part-time job taking care of people's pets while they're on vacation, and I'm also writing fiction again. But since that book is half-done, and a lot of people might want a copy even if I don't add much more to it, I'm going to make it available as an ebook only. Do you remember last time I made a crowdfunding campaign, and the people who backed the campaign got a copy of the book as soon as it was published? I'm doing that again, but NOT for Small Mysteries. It's for a different book, called The Moonhound, a cozy fantasy set in an alternate reality Smoky Mountains. The main character is a rabbit who moves to the mountains and meets a possum, and they have adventures. Even if this doesn't interest you, there's a $1 backer tier and if you click that, you have the option to add the Small Mysteries ebook for $2. That means the book is $3. Does that make sense? I feel like it's confusing. The campaign starts on July 15, 2026 and runs through August 15, 2026. If you're listening to the episode before July 15, 2026, you can click through the link in the show notes and follow the campaign, so that you get an email when it goes live. If it's between July 15 and August 15, 2026, click the link in the show notes and there's the campaign! If it's after August 15, 2026, see if there's a link in the show notes that will take you to a place where you can buy the ebook. Okay, that took way too long, so let's get to this week's episode! We have some suggestions that have come in recently, so we'll cover a few of those animals, and we'll finish up with a small fossil mystery in honor of the book. Thanks to Eesa, Grace, and Viki for their suggestions! A quick shout-out to Remy and Julien, and Dylan, Emily, and Michelle for their suggestions too. I'll get to those in the 500th episode that will run at the end of August. We'll start with Viki's suggestion, the hognose snake. The name hognose is used for various species of snake, most of them in North and South America, but some in Madagascar. It's a common snake in many parts of North America, so since we talked about the eastern hognose back in episode 81, let's talk about the southern hognose in this episode. It's found along the coastal plain of the southeastern United States, including parts of North and South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Florida, and because it has a restricted range where people like to live too, it's vulnerable to habitat loss. It used to live in other states too but its range has shrunk considerably since it was first described in 1766. The southern hognose grows about two feet long, or 61 cm, and like other hognose snakes, its nose turns up like a little pig's snout. The shape of its nose actually may help it dig into leaf litter and dirt to hide. Some individuals are brown or gray, some are red or yellowish. It has darker blotches on its upper side and adults have white bellies. It has a big head that makes some people believe it's venomous, but it's actually harmless to humans and most animals. The only animals that really need to worry about the hognose are amphibians, like toads, frogs, and salamanders, although it will also eat lizards, small mammals like mice, and even large insects. It especially likes to eat toads, and while some toads are toxic, the hognose snake is resistant to toad toxins. A toad will frequently puff itself up to make it appear larger and make it hard for a snake to swallow, but the hognose has a solution for that too. It has big teeth at the rear of its upper jaws, like fangs in the back of its mouth. It uses those teeth to puncture puffed-up toads so they deflate, just like a horrible balloon. But the most memorable thing about the hognose is what it does when it feels threatened. Phase one is aggression. The snake will flatten its neck to look more threatening, raise its head like a cobra, and hiss and strike—but without biting. It's just trying to scare you away. If that doesn't work, the snake puts phase two into effect. It will flop down and roll onto its back like it's dead, its tongue hanging out of its mouth. It even emits a foul musky smell from its cloaca. If you call its bluff and roll drama queen snake onto its belly, it will turn onto its back again, because it's really insistent that it's dead. Since we've already scared away a lot of people who don't like snakes, let's learn about a spider next. Grace suggested we talk about the wolf spider, and also wonders if wolf spiders live in northern California. Wolf spiders are common throughout the world, and while they look scary, they bite people very rarely and their venom is weak, no worse than a bee sting. The wolf spider with the biggest legspan is Hogna ingens, with a legspan less than 5 inches across, or 12 cm. It lives on one island in the Maderia archipelago, and is a beautiful soft gray with white stripes on the legs. The Carolina wolf spider is the most common one found in North America. A big female can have a legspan of four inches, or 10 cm, but its body is not much more than an inch long, or 35 mm, and the spider actually weighs less than an ounce. That's barely 28 grams, or just a little heavier than five sheets of printer paper. The wolf spider is a hunting spider, mostly solitary, and most species don't spin webs. When a female lays her eggs, she attaches the egg case to the underside of her abdomen so she can take them with her while she hunts insects. When the eggs hatch, the teensy babies ride around on the top of her abdomen for a few weeks until they're big enough to not need their mother's protection. Some species of wolf spider will dig a burrow to rest in, and will jump out and grab any insect that happens by, while other species of wolf spider rest in rock crevices and other small spaces. Males are smaller than females and often have flashier patterns. The Carolina wolf spider is mainly gray or brown with darker and lighter longitudinal stripes down the head and body. Most species of wolf spider won't come into your house, but if you do have a wolf spider in your house, you should actually consider yourself lucky. They love to eat cockroaches and ants, which are house pests. The wolf spider hunts mostly by sight and has good vision, and its eyes will even demonstrate eyeshine of various colors, depending on species, if you shine a flashlight around in the dark. Maybe don't do that if you're afraid of spiders. And yes, there are wolf spiders in northern California, because there are wolf spiders in just about every part of the world except for Antarctica! Northern California actually has at least six species of wolf spider. One species does actually build a web, and there's even a species that lives on the beach. That's the beach wolf spider, which is a pale sandy color with darker and lighter stripes to help it blend in with sand and pebbles. It's quite small but it moves really fast, and it's mostly nocturnal. It lives not just in northern California but throughout beaches in North and Central America. Next, Eesa sent a list of suggested animals, including oviraptor. I could have sworn we already covered oviraptor, but we haven't! It's a really interesting dinosaur, so let's take a look now. Oviraptor is a name that means “egg thief,” and it got this name because it was found near fossilized eggs. It lived in what is now Asia about 75 million years ago, and the first specimen was found in Mongolia (still my favorite country) back in 1923. The partial specimen was found lying across a nest of dinosaur eggs. When the dinosaur was described in 1924, it was given the name egg thief because the paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn assumed it died while robbing a nest to eat the eggs. But even Osborn wrote that he might be wrong about the dinosaur, and in the 1990s new discoveries of oviraptor nesting sites proved this was the case. Oviraptor wasn't stealing eggs, it was protecting them, because they were its own eggs. It probably actually ate fruit, seeds, and other plant material, along with small animals like lizards. Oviraptor was a small dinosaur that was a little more than six feet long, or about 2 meters, and was the height of a medium to large dog. It walked on its hind legs. It had feathers on its arms and tail, and probably also had feathers over much of its body. It didn't have teeth but it did have a beak that would have probablylooked a lot like a parrot's beak. Its arms had three small claws but probably looked a lot like a wing in many ways, although scientists don't think oviraptor could fly. In other words, oviraptor probably looked a lot like a big, weird chicken, and like a chicken and many other birds, scientists think it sat on its eggs to keep them warm. When a bird incubates its eggs, it's not like you dropping down to sit on a chair. The bird's feet are typically on either side of the eggs, and the bird squats down carefully so that its underside makes gentle contact with the eggs without crushing them. Female chickens and many other birds have a spot on the lower breast that doesn't have any feathers, called a brood patch, which contains extra blood vessels just under the skin. This helps keep the eggs warm and is a soft part of the hen's body, which helps cushion the eggs. We don't know, but it's possible oviraptor had something similar to a brood patch, and its feathered arms and tail also helped protect the eggs from cold air and rain. We now have numerous specimens that died while sitting on nests, probably buried in sandstorms, so we know that oviraptor basically brooded its nest the way modern birds do. Finally, let's finish with our small mystery fossil. It's called Esconichthys apopyris and it lived about 308 million years ago in what is now the state of Illinois in North America. 308 million years ago, Illinois was a tropical area and partly covered by a warm, shallow sea. In a particular place known as the Mazon Creek formation, for a few million years conditions were just right to preserve dead animals and plants in astounding detail. A river carried dead plant materials and mud into an estuary along the ocean's edge, where it sank and settled to the bottom of the sea floor. When an animal died, if it wasn't eaten by something else, its body sank into this soft muddy mess. The bacteria in the mud produced carbon dioxide that combined with iron also present in the mud, which formed a mineral called siderite. This mineral encased the dead animal and slowed decay long enough for a detailed impression of the body to form in the mud. As the centuries passed and the mud became stone, the fossilized body impression was surrounded by a protective ironstone nodule. That's why we know about the soft-bodied animals from the area, even though soft-bodied animals rarely leave fossil evidence. Mazon Creek is where the Tully monster lived, which we talked about in episode 339, but the Tully monster isn't the only mystery animal discovered there. Another one was Esconichthys. We have lots of Esconichthys fossils, partly because it seems to have been extremely common, but also because it was a vertebrate. That means it had a notochord, a type of backbone. Most of the fossils we have are body impressions, so we do know a lot about what Esconichthys looked like when it was alive. What we don't know is what it actually was. Esconichthys was named for the Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois, ESCONI, and the latter half of its name means fish. But it doesn't actually seem to have been a fish, even a larval fish. It grew up to about 3 inches long, or 8 cm, and had a pair of very obvious eyes, two pairs of feathery external gills, and a single fin on the underside of its tail. It didn't have legs or any other fins. Some individuals had wide-set eyes, others had eyes that are close together, which may indicate two separate species, but we don't know. Esconichthys fossils are sometimes referred to as ghosts, because the limbless body with two dots for eyes does kind of look like a cartoon ghost. Other people call Esconichthys fossils grasshoppers or blades. This is because the animal's gills were quite long and are often preserved pointing away from the rest of the body, or sometimes the rear of the body is folded upward. This can make it look roughly like a grasshopper or a pocket knife with one blade unfolded. Esconichthys has been proposed as a larval lungfish or a larval amphibian, but it doesn't really match either animal group. It's the most common fossil found at the Mazon Creek formation by far, preserved in amazing detail, but scientists still have no idea what it is or what it might be related to.

Travis Maderia, CEO of Lobsterboys, says rising energy costs are pressuring the food supply chain, despite temporary relief from strong supply. He highlights growing strain on independent producers as distributors like Sysco (SYY), United Natural Foods (UNFI), and Performance Food Group (PFGC) dominate. Maderia adds that logistics, storage, and thin margins are key risks in today's inflation environment.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Gabriel och Åsskar har fått ett förslag om att rösta fram världens tokigaste fordon, men Åsskar tror först att det handlar om nagelsvampsoppa. Något som Gabriel verkligen inte vill smaka på... Men när han fått veta vad ordet egentligen betyder så lär dom sig om tokiga transportmedel (OBS: inte spott!!) från världens alla hörn. Det handlar om världens snabbaste tåg och tåg som hänger uppochner, om taxis med inbyggda toaletter, om pulkor på Maderia, självkörande kylskåp, amfibiebussar, och mycket annat. Åsskar lär sig även om varför kor rapar metangas och vad det får för konsekvenser. Dessutom blir det även massor av skämt och uppmuntrande inlägg om skolan!

“You could eat your dinner out of the ditch” that's what Fiona Falconer of Wild About tells us in thisweek's podcast which is all about Wild Food.It's abundant, free, full of adventure, resourceful and sustainable and celebrates the beauty and bounty of our landscape. So we discuss why it's important to eat from our natural surroundings and what are the benefits of eating wild foods for our health. Fiona also tells us about the value of running a small business, as she and her husband Malcolm upped sticks from London, moved to a 5-acre farm in Co. Wexford and now run an environmentally sustainable food business, appropriate called Wild About, which along with countless awards has presented them with many creative opportunities. In December 2021, we first chatted to her, and this here podcast is a re-play of that conversation. So we touched based with Fiona this wee to get an update on things on the farm. And as it turns it out they are getting on great! They are still living their mantra of “small is beautiful”, they are developing a food tourism side to the business and along with VisitWexford are hosting farm tours for visitors. Dreams and plans are afoot for a custard apple farm in Maderia with a tourism offering. Sounds exciting. And if you want to meet this vivacious woman in person, you will be able to catch them at Bloom in the Park this coming June 2023.Further more, we decided to re-play this episode as Spring is a particularly great time to get out and about in search of wild goodies and Fiona gives us a delicious and tempting recipe and now is the perfect time to give it a shot. And what's more, that song you hear at the start of the podcast, well that's an original piece of music - made specifically for the NeighbourFood podcast. From blackberries to mushrooms, wild food is also a huge passion for musician Peter Broderick. Peter, a Maine man, now living in Galway loves to forage for wild, edible plants. Though we may be so bold as to suggest writing the theme music for our NeighbourFood podcast was one of his greatest musical feats, what may interest you more is his song “Wild Food” from his album Blackberry, which is all about gathering, foraging, hunting, and munching! It's catchy (see what we did there?). So later you will hear from Peter and what he finds inspiring about “Wild Food”. *******Wild About's Nettle Beer RecipeIdeal for brewing around St Patrick's Day (17 March) when the nettles are young2 carrier bags of nettles (approx 500grams)12 liters of water1.5 kg sugar60 grams cream of tartarYeastOptional - 2 oranges, 2 lemons, GingerBoil the water.

Végre az Egyesült Államok sem húzza tovább, novemberben kinyit Európa, azaz az unió és az Egyesült Királyság előtt. Oltás tutira kell majd, plusz egy teszt. Az osztrákok nem akarnak még egy olyan sivár telet, mint az előző, lehet vaxolni a léceket, lesz síszezon, de addig is ajánlunk három tuti helyet az őszre: olcsó jegyek, remek városok, mi kell még? Kanada után Anglia és az Egyesült Államok is kinyitott, mehetünk oltással, hurrá, végre. Kicsi rossz hír, hogy Szputnyikkal sehova, a kínait viszont az USA elfogadja. A döntés hatására érdemes lesz nézegetni a járatokat, a JetBlue ugyanis belengette a fapados transzatlanti járatait. Hát meglátjuk, a tervek szerint nagyjából százezer forint lehet a legjobb ajánlat oda-vissza Londonból. Ausztria bejelentette az első tiroli hóeséssel egyidőben, hogy az idén bizony lesz síszezon. Tavaly csak sutyiban, illegálban, üzleti utasnak álcázva lehetett síelni menni, ráadásul szállás sem volt, a szezon is egy nagy rakás semmi lett. Az idén viszont nyitva lesznek a sípályák, a hütték és a szállások is, szóval aki nem Eplényben akar csúszkálni, az mehet isten hírével a sógorokhoz vagy még tovább. Hogy mi lesz a maszkhasználati protokoll, azt a mindenkori járványhelyzet fogja eldönteni. A menetrendnek és az angliai nyitásnak köszönhetően találtunk három (és fél) tuti hosszú hétvégés várost az őszre. Ezek olyan úticélok ahová egész olcsón el lehet jutni egy szabadnappal, vagy akár a nélkül is. A harmadik helyezett Párizs, ahová a Wizz ideális időben repül az ősszel. Orlyra megy, vagyis villamossal is be lehet gurulni a városba, nem kell órákat buszozni. Péntek este oda, vasárnap vissza, és kész is a romantika. Ha tengernyi a szabi, akár csütörtök reggel is indulhatunk. A második helyezett Amszterdam. A holland fővárosba a KLM mellett repülhetünk easyJettel - az easy jegyei jóval olcsóbbak is lehetnek, mint a KLM ajánlata. Péntek oda, hétfő vissza. A Wizz Air Eindhovenbe repül, esetenként tényleg párezer forintért, ám az amszterdami vonatjegy eléggé megdobja a büdzsét, így kérdéses, hogy megéri-e a kitérő. Ha szeretjük a holland vidéket és van időnk csak úgy vonatozni, mindenképp, de azért maradjon idő Amszterdamra is. A harmadik város Pafosz, ahová a Ryanair repül és most először ideális a hosszú hétvégés menetrend. Ciprusra persze sokkal jobb hosszabb időre menni, de ha csak annyira van idő és energia, hogy elfussunk a szottyos novemberből a napos húsz fokba, akkor ez a lehetőség is adott. A plusz egy ajánlat pedig Madeira, ahová most londoni átszállással napon belül is el lehet jutni. Mindezt akár Wizz-pontokból is le lehet tudni. Szombat oda, kedd vissza. Maderia persze sokkal többet ér, ezért ha csak lehet, tíz napra érdemes menni.

When a recipe calls for "1/4 cup of dry white wine" or "1 cup of medium bodied red wine", do you know what kind of wine to use? Most people have no idea where to start and they either skip the wine altogether in their recipe or they just grab whatever wine has a pretty label. But you don't have to feel overwhelmed anymore! In this episode, I go over the basic tips for shopping for a wine to cook with as well as the specific wines I recommend using in recipes that call for white wine, medium bodied red wine, full bodied red wine, and fortified wines! Up first are my 4 tips for cooking with wine. 1. Quality Matters. If you aren't willing to drink it, you shouldn't cook with it! 2. Don't buy any wines that are labeled as "cooking wine"! This is a marketing tactic to get rid of cheap wine! 3. Wine needs about 60-90 minutes to completely cook out of food. So keep in mind that if you only simmer your sauce for about 15 minutes, most of the alcohol content will still be in your dish. 4. Use the wine you plan on drinking with dinner as your cooking wine! Sounds simple, but it's the best way to ensure your food and wine will pair perfectly! Check out my latest blog post thewineceo.com/blog to get my "cooking with wine" overview that you can save to your phone for the next time you go shopping! Here are my top recommendations by varietal: If a recipe calls for a dry white wine, try using Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. Below are some of my favorites: Ruffino Pinot Grigio, Venezia Tesoro Della Regina Pinot Grigio Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Matua Sauvignon Blanc Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc If a recipe calls for a medium bodied red wine, try using Tempranillo or Chianti (Sangiovese is the varietal). A few of my favorites are: Tenuta Di Renieri Chianti Villa Antinori Tuscan Red Banfi Chianti Classico Montecillo Rioja Crianza (Tempranillo) Campo Viejo Rioja Riserva (Tempranillo) If a recipe calls for a heavy red, try a Syrah/ Shiraz or a Cabernet Sauvignon. Try one of the below: Montes Alpha Syrah Penfolds Shiraz Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon If a recipe calls for a fortified wine, try using Sherry, Maderia, or Marsala. Some great options include: Osborne Pedro Ximenez Sherry Sandeman Madeira Florio Marsala I hope this was helpful!

År 2019 går mot sitt slut, men innan det är helt över är det dags att snacka upp fartygsnyheterna under årets sista vecka. Bland annat hör vi om mardrömmen i Grekland där en bil med passagerare hamnade i vattnet när en färja slet sig från sin kaj. Vi snackar också om världens största seglande kryssningsfartyg, nybyggda FLYING CLIPPER, som blivit sålt till nya ägare redan före leveransen, samt om världsrekordet på självaste nyårsafton där hela 13 kryssningsfartyg samlas i Funchal på Maderia. Vilket paradis att sluta året på. Välkomna ombord! /Christopher & Patrik
Jake Parrott from Haus Alpenz returns to talk about Maderia – what it is, how it’s made, and what makes it so unique. Per usual, Jake gets a little geeky...
Dışarıdan damıtılmış üzüm alkolü katılan yani bir nevi brendi katılan ve bu sebeple %15-22 alkol arasında normal şaraba göre çok daha yüksek alkolü olan şaraplardır. İspanya’nın Sherry, Portekiz’in Porto ve Maderia şarapları bu çeşitlere örnektir. Sherry’lerin çoğu sek, Portoların ise çoğu tatlıdır. Peki nasıl oluşuyor bu fark diye sorarsanız, doğal mayalar yani sakkaroz miches feria dediğimiz mayalar sadece %15 alkole kadar çalışabiliyorlar. %15 alkolden sonra herhangi bir faliyet gösteremiyorlar, ölüyorlar ama farkettiğiniz gibi bu likör şarapların alkolleri %15’in üzerinde. İşte dışarıdan kattığımız bu brendi ile alkolü yukarıya çekiyoruz. İşte bu brendiyi (damıtılmış üzüm alkolünü) ne zaman kattığımızsa şarabın sek ya da tatlı olmasını belirliyor, yani stil farkını oluşturuyor. Eğer fermentasyon tamamen bittikten sonra yani mayalar şekerin tamamını yedikten sonra brendiyi katarsak sek bir likör şarap yapmış oluyoruz. Yani sek ve yüksek alkollü bir şarap yapmış oluyoruz. Eğer fermentasyon devam ederken %6-10 alkoller civarında iken bıraksak mayalar bütün şekeri yiyip bitirebilecekken biz dışardan brandy’i katıp alkolü %15’lere çekersek mayalar ölür ve içeride şeker kalır. Böylece yüksek alkollü ve tatlı likör şarap yapmış olursunuz. Türkiye’de bu çeşit şaraplar var mı diye soruyorsanız var tabiki de. Bizde çok fazla Sherry (sek likör şarap) stili yok ama Madeira ve Port stili olan tatlı likör şarabı bulmak mümkün.
Madeira Atlantik Okyanusu’nda bir adadır. Tabii ki aynı zamanda bir şaraba ve şarap stiline adını veren adadan bahsediyoruz. Madeira Adası Portekiz’in uydu adasıdır. Atlantik Okyanusu’nda tam Cezayir’in batısında yer alır. Aslında Portekiz’e oldukça uzak olan bir adasından bahsediyoruz. Ekvator’a çok yakın olan ve çok sıcak olan bir adadan bahsediyoruz. Burası volkanik bir ada, üzeri tamamen ormanlarla kaplı. Zamanında adayı Prens Henry’nin korsanları keşfettiklerinde uzaktan bir siyah bulut olarak görmüşler. Oysa üzerinin tamamen ormanlarla kaplı olmasından kaynaklanıyor. Adada üzüm ve siyah şeker pancarı yetiştirmek istemişler. O yüzden de adanın büyük bir kısmını günlerce, aylarca hatta yıllarca söylenenlere göre yakmışlar. Çünkü tarım yapacak arazi yokmuş öyle düşünün ve nihayetinde bugün baktığımız zaman oldukça yüksek rakımlara sahip olan Madeira adası yeni stil bir şarabın da olmasını sağlamış. Aslında basitçe baktığınızda hayatı Port şarabı gibi başlıyor ve bu adada üretilen şaraplar fortifiye şaraplar. Nasıl yapıyorduk fortifiye, port tipi şarapları? Fermentasyon devam ederken %6-10 alkole geldiğimizde dışarıdan brandy (üzüm bazlı distile alkolü) ekleyerek fermentasyonu durduruyorduk. Alkolü %15 ve yukarısına çektiğimiz için mayalar bu alkol miktarında yaşayamadıklarından ölüyorlardı, içeride şeker kalıyordu ve böylece yüksek alkollü tatlı bir likör şarap yapıyorduk. Buraya kadar herşey tamam zaten. Bundan sonrasında şarabı fıçılara alıp, fıçıları da dışarıya şaraphanenizin dışına ya da varsa çatı arasına koyuyorsunuz. Olmaması gerekecek yerlere koyuyorsunuz. Oralar çünkü oldukça sıcak yerler, yaz ve bahar sıcağından bahsediyorum tabii. Kışın da soğuk olan yerler. Sürekli aynı sıcaklıkta kalmasını engellliyorsunuz şarabın. Peki bu şekilde bozulmuyor mu şarap? Evet bozuluyor ama zaten Madeire’nın stili bozuk. Yani sizin önünüze özellikle bozularak geliyor şarap. Nereden çıkmış bu derseniz de? Portekizli denizciler malum sürekli keşif yapıyorlar. Madeira Adası’nda yaptıkları şarapları alıyorlar, Ümit Burnu’ndan geçerek Hindistan ve oradaki adalara gidiyorlar. Orada yeni malzemeler bulacaklar karşılığında şarap verecekler yani bir nevi bartır yapacaklar ve tekrar geri dönecekler. Bu seyahat aylarca sürüyor ve giderken Ekvator’u 2 kere geçiyorlar, dönerken iki kere daha geçiyorlar. Bu sebeple şaraplar ısınıyor ve bozuluyor. Çünkü bütün şarapları satıp geri gelmiyorlar. Bir kısım şarap da ellerinde kalıyor ve yolda tekrar 2 kere daha Ekvator’u geçmek zorunda kalıyor. Böylece şarap ısıya maruz kalarak bozuluyor. Biz buna günümüzde hala maderizasyon deriz ki bu tamamen Maderia’dan alır adını ve bu şaraplara Vino da Roda (yolculuk şarabı) deniyor. Uzun bir süre de şarapları bu şekilde yapıyorlar. Yani şarapları yapıyorlar, fıçılara koyuyorlar, gemiye yüklüyorlar ondan sonra Ekvatoru 4 kere geçerek, ısıtarak şarapları bozmaya çalışıyorlar. Fakat sonra buna talep arttıkça başa çıkamaz hale geliyorlar ve başka teknikler keşfediyorlar. Bu teknik işte az önce anlattığım fıçıya koydum, çatıya ya da çatı arasına koydum tekniği. Sonuçta aynı bozulmayı sağlıyor. Bir diğer teknik de çok daha ucuz ve basit teknik. Dışında ısıtma boruları olan tanklara şarabı koyuyorlar. Fırın diyebilirsiniz bunlara (Estofas) stov’dan geliyor zaten, borulara sıcak suyu verdiğiniz zaman tank ısınıyor ve şarabı dışarıdan bir etkiyle ısıtmış oluyorsunuz. Böylece de bozabiliyorsunuz ama o dışarıda bozulan gibi olması imkansız.
