they definitely overcharged me in the restaurant but it was a good wine for a fair price (couldve been better)

Pinotage from South Africa. If you get a good bottle it is unique and beautiful. If you get a bad one it tastes like grape cough syrup. Last time I had a Valpolicella was Valentines Day. I normally do not like the cranberry notes you get from the semi dried Corvina grapes but it was a very nice wine for Valentines day.

Crazy upcoming grapes I have also been into recently are Kerner and Solaris but really, all wine is good.

i went to a winery near cornell called castel grisch (take notes wasp!!!) and they only grew local varietals, even one produced by cornell viticultural students and faculty called "cayuga". the other was chancellor and the winery did a blend of those two grapes

The father/mother of Cayuga is a grape called Seyval Blanc and some other grape. I have never had it but it is on my list. Good choice. @sireggan
HELP! I hadn't yet completed my application to ASU (still waiting on both LOR's as well as an updated undergrad transcript), but for some reason, the application status in lsac says "complete" and I received an email from ASU saying that they are reviewing my application. Has this ever had something like this happen?
I'm worried that I'll get a denial since it's not even truly complete, and then I wont be able to apply again for this 2023-2024 cycle (the application deadline is July 15th by the way)
@SirEggan: notes taken! thank you
@ValleyH: congratulations, excited for you for this new chapter in your life
