Sunday Serial: Fantastical Proposals, Moka Pot Coffee, and Bellview Winery’s Demeter

Here’s this week’s list of things to check out:

  1. Fantastical’s Proposals Feature: I’ve been a Fantastical Pro subscriber since probably 2017. Before that, I used the paid version, in the days before everything was an annual subscription. But Fantastical is worth it to me. Most recently, I started using the Proposal feature to suggest meeting times to people. It’s a nice virtual secretary feature and hasn’t been confusing for anyone who received a proposal from me.
  2. Bialetti Moka Pot: I mentioned that it might be a spoiler for this week’s Serial Sunday, and that’s how it’s going. But it’s been great; I set up the Bialetti after dinner and turn on the range to five while I tool about in the kitchen. It’s coffee and watermelon or a banana before I row, and this past week saw my morning Aeropress replaced by this storied method.
  3. Bellview Winery’s Demeter: I tried a sample of this wine a week or two ago at Bellview and really liked it. This Saturday I did not forget to pack the growler; we got our usual bottle of rosé and I filled the growler with the Demeter. It’s got a great dryness and acidity that I enjoy in place of the rosé. They describe it as “light dry white blend of Viognier and Gruner Veltliner with notes of peach and pear.“ Bad news was: no brie.
