Bacchus Winery

Bacchus Winery As many of my friends know, we sold our buildings. And yes, everything was in our favor in such a way that new opportunities now sit in front of us. Stay tuned.

Me and Stephanie are trying to figure out our path for our future. Bacchus Winery is a boutique commercial winery offering as many as 25 different wine varieties at all times. Each bottle is hand crafted at the winery and varieties stretch from sparkling pink French Rose’ to big bold Australian and French reds. Much like a micro-brewery for craft beer and smaller distilleries, Bacchus provides vis

itors with a full winery experience including a walk through the winery production and instruction areas. Bacchus offers classes where students make their own wine onsite and the winery is open to any customer who wishes to use the facility for producing their own wine onsite. For those who desire to take steps towards making their own wine at home for personal consumption, Bacchus offers a full spectrum of wine making supplies including juices from the best vineyards located around the world. This will be an experience that will evolve and expand your understanding and definition of a winery. Tastings are free. Bacchus is all about “Your Wine, Your Way!” You deserve great wine and you should demand it with every glass and bottle.

I hope many of you remember this one—

Gunnery Sgt. Foley: "Where are you from, boy?"
Zack Mayo: "Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, sir."
Gunnery Sgt. Foley: "Ah. Only two things come out of Oklahoma, steers and qu**rs. Which one are you, boy? I don't see no horns. So that narrows it down!"

So I just heard something similar just now (paraphrasing)—

President Trump—Only two things come from meet the press and the liberal media—crooked or stupid which one are you ?
Meet the press—I am not crooked Mr president…

In my mind that narrowed it right down.

Trump tapped her on the shoulder and walked away…

Such Bu****it!!! The federal government needs to make mail in ballots illegal across all states for the general population. Only in very rare cases should mail in ballots be allowed like deployed military and extreme illness cases where a medical doctor must sign a note. There are good reasons for mail in ballots but absolutely not for the general population. Voter ID, in person at an official balloting station by a United States citizen on Election Day should be the only way for a registered voter to vote. And all the liberals out there cheating the system, if you didn’t cheat, we wouldn’t even be talking about this. I hope you go to prison for your cheating ways.

As we head into our graduates heading towards their future lives as independents and breaking away from the safety of their parents safe spaces, they have a lot of questions that need serious adult like conversations. I have said many times—college is not for everyone, military is not for everyone, working in the family business is not for everyone just like about anything in life that offers independence of a child maturing into adulthood. Importantly, one very appropriate question keeps being asked—is college worth it? And the answer is—it depends. There is going to be a huge amount of debt on the shoulders of the college graduate and it is so hard for a child to wrap their heads around the numbers since they have been coddled all of their life up to the point of asking that question. I will answer that question with a question—how hard is the child willing to work after graduating from college to repay that debt? And another question—is the career after college a profitable one? If your child wants to go to college in art or history and wind up with a debt of nearly $200,000 and a job that barely keeps them at poverty, college is not worth it no matter how hard they are willing to work. We all know the careers that are profitable—engineering, medical, legal, accounting, architecture, etc…. Physical education, art, food service, animal husbandry, music appreciation, are not profitable so it is not worth it. The child does not get to go to college and get into a non profitable curriculum and demand to get paid the same as a high demand profitable curriculum. That is not the way it works. Saying but I don’t like math, science,….is not on the table. Just because they don’t like something will have no effect on the question—Is college worth it? They can throw a temper tantrum and scream out—That is not fair. But folks, no one ever said life is fair. If the graduating senior does not like the profitable curriculums and they won’t commit to themselves to work hard in that career to pay back the loans in four to seven years, then the answer is easy for them—college is not worth it. There is something out there that will work for them but college is not it. Please have this discussion with your graduating seniors. The sooner they walk away when it is not a fit, the better off they will be as they move into adulthood. There is always time to go back and go to college. Dont let them destroy their lives on day one, it is your responsibility as their parents to help get them pointed in the right direction so don’t let them down. They may still make their bad decisions but you need to know that you at least tried to help them shed light on their early life decisions.

Isn’t it interesting how the money has dried up on the national democratic side of the house as more and more government fraud is discovered across our country. Billions of US citizen tax dollars were being funneled off to extremely complex and layered front companies that were doing no work at all. Government contracts are being cancelled and grants are being withdrawn and by some odd coincident, the funding machine that was funneling billions in donations to the national Democratic Party is drying up. We should all take a step back and scratch our heads on this one. Just amazing.

And now, a little follow up—The spotted lanternfly relies on the tree of heaven to complete its life cycle and sequesters bitter toxins from the bark that make it unpalatable to native bird predators. When lanternflies feed on the Tree of Heaven, they extract toxic compounds that make them taste terrible to birds.

Spotted lanternflies (SLF) are highly attracted to grapevines because of the high nutrient qualities of the grapevine sap that increases the amount of eggs per insect that then cause severe damage shortly after hatching in the early spring. The spotted lanternfly knows that just feeding on grape vines would make them vulnerable to natural predators so they feed on the sap of the tree of heaven to build much needed toxins to deter natural predators. Grape vines are so attractive to the spotted lanternfly that there is a noticeable immediate decline and a reduced fruit yield that follows. In the early nymph stage, the sucking mouth parts of the lanternfly are soft so they can be found out in the new growth of the grapevines and on the new growth of the tree of heaven. Later in adult stage, the mouth parts are hard and tough enough to cut through the woody part of the vine. The adults move to the grape vine trunk and completely starve the grape vine of sap much need for finishing the grapes for wine making.

To control the spotted lanternfly, implement sticky bands on trunks, applying contact or systemic insecticides, and aggressively scraping egg masses off hard surfaces in the winter and spring. To break the cycle of reproduction and expansion, irradicate the tree of heaven so that the insect looses its ability to protect itself from natural predators.

Many years ago (50s - 60s) the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) was introduced to North America from China as a fast growing ornamental shade tree (shade in less than a year) but has become a major invasive species, outcompeting many native plants. The Chinese had a plan from the start knowing what this tree was capable of. They gave this tree a very lovely nickname playing on the mentality of the strong Christian faith that exists in the United States—what American wouldn’t want a piece of heaven in their back yard? They knew that it served as a host and breeding ground for the spotted lanternfly which is a Chinese invasive and prolific insect that they knew had the capability to completely wipe out the United States grape/wine industry. Their long term strategy was to hood wink the American Population nearly 75 years ago by marketing this tree as instant shade, let the tree of heaven spread naturally killing domestic trees on its destructive path and once they knew it had spread enough to propagate the spotted lanternfly, unleash the insect into America to destroy the United States wine industry. Well, their plan and strategy is working. If you have the tree of heaven on your property, please destroy it to help disrupt the spread of the spotted lanternfly. Girdling the tree or cutting this tree down will not kill it. In fact, doing so makes it spread faster by sending out thousands of rhizomes across nearly an entire football field. To kill this invasive monster, you have to girdle the tree all the way around the trunk and then paint the area where you removed the bark with full strength concentrated round-up for heavy brush and vines. This will kill the root resulting in the trees death from tip to toe. Dont be sympathetic with this tree. Look around you and make note of how invasive this species is knowing that before 1950, not a single one was in North America. It is not innocent. It is a symbol of what the Chinese are capable of when they set their long term strategies against the US economy.

Thank God! The legal system came through. Virginia is an honorable state. Our forefathers that created this great nation came from Virginia. ALL residents of Virginia need to honor our great state and follow our states constitution. If you voted yes for redistricting, you should be ashamed of yourself. You dishonored our great state by trying to play a childish game. Our state is overwhelmingly bipartisan with the state being split 50/50–right down the middle. The forefathers would be proud of the makeup of our state and would encourage professional discussion to resolve differences. However, pure evil has infiltrated our great state with the leftists cheating because they can’t accept that they need to grow up, get a set of balls and engage in constructive criticism and compromise. What a shame that half of our states population has lowered themselves to new norm of the Democratic Party. Thank God the legal system still works. I suggest that if you are liberal and left and you can’t grow up, get out of our state and move to someplace where you can grow up to be the child you want to be. Stop polluting our state with your rhetoric.

Here is something interesting that I just learned—One of my friends asked quite some time ago if I had ever dabbled around in crypto. It took me back to the same question I was asked in the early 80s. In the early 80s, I was shown a few rolls of 20 Bitcoins by my friend that they had purchased for $1 a coin. He showed me and I thought—what an idiot. I smiled and said no thanks. Now who’s the idiot. You never know—just like playing the lottery. Well, fast forward to today and yes, I now buy, sell, trade using a well known platform and by doing so, I learn because I have skin in the game. Word of caution to all, don’t log into your account and set yourself up to make a buy on an IPO with your finger hovering over the buy button and fall asleep in your easy chair. That finger will fall and the purchase made and when you wake up in the morning, you’re the proud new owner of a stock in a death spiral. Oh well, now on to something I just learned—hedging and futures. That same platform lets you hedge on football, soccer, national policy, Supreme Court decisions…. No wonder things are happening that cause you to scratch your head. I had no idea. Just for curiosity, I searched to see if Virginia redistricting was on the list. Guess what? Yep, there it is along with a whole multitude of other states. PEOPLE ARE BETTING ON THE OUTCOME!!! I wonder how many politicians are betting on the outcome. This would make a politician behave in a bizarre way. If they bet on the future of a decision that they can influence, of course they would behave in a way that favors their investment and not in a way that is good for their constituents. This seems wrong and like it should be illegal. See the current future on redistricting:

Estimates for early 2026 suggest there are over 16,000 to 18,000 public AI tools and, when including private enterprise, proprietary, and niche systems, the total number exceeds 50,000 to 90,000. So, if there are concerns of AI platforms, no all 90,000 platforms are biased. If you do a machine generated random selection process to pick 69 platforms, I believe it would be difficult to bias the out put,
