Wine is made in every state in the US but that doesn't mean that all wine is made from grapes. There are also fruit wines that can range from dry to sweet. I have had very little experience with fruit wines. But after tasting the Bluet from Maine, my interest has been peaked. A beautiful dark purple color, if you did not know any better, you might think it was a Lambrusco but Bluet is a sparkling wine made from wild blueberries and is the Please The Palate #pickoftheweek

I braved the traffic of Los Angeles to head downtown this week. It took more than an hour and a half to drive 10 miles, which was frustrating. I arrived at the Proper Hotel in downtown LA and took the elevator to the Penthouse floor, feeling a little stressed from the traffic. I was greeted with a glass of fresh, aromatic rosé and took a look at the view in front of me and I began to relax. More wines were poured, tapas were tray-passed, and heat lamps warmed us in the fresh evening air. Tasting the wines of Bodega Colomé from Argentina with winemaker Thibaut Delmotte on the Cara Cara Rooftop at the Downtown LA Proper Hotel was the Please The Palate pick of the week.

#TIL one of my fellow users on #Geograph has been playing a game called #TurfGame.

IanS has contributed 656 #Photographs acquired whilst claiming each #TurfZone.

Looking at https://turfgame.com/ it looks like PokémonGo for grown-ups. Ian's trick of photographing locations adds an extra dimension. Any #photolibrary would do.

When friends told me they were coming to Los Angeles for the weekend and said they wanted to meet for lunch, I wanted to pick a place that was as visually pleasing as it was delicious. The first place that came to mind is Cara Cara, the rooftop restaurant at The Proper Hotel in downtown LA. Sitting on the 15th floor with sweeping 360-degree city views, it is no wonder that Cara Cara has been named "Best Hotel Rooftop 2022" by Angeleno Magazine, one of "15 Rooftop Bars with Incredible LA Views" by Eater LA, and one of "The Best New Patios in LA" by The Infatuation. And Cara Cara, with its vibrant colors, fresh flavors, friendly service, and great views, is the #pleasethepalate #pickoftheweek

They say good things come in small packages and that saying holds true when it comes to small plates, especially at San Laurel Restaurant at the Conrad Los Angeles in downtown LA. Located on the 10th floor of a hotel, this is not a typical hotel restaurant. Modern and bustling with views of Disney Hall and the surrounding downtown LA, San Laurel is home to Michelin-starred chef and humanitarian José Andrés and the #pleasethepalate #pickoftheweek

If you are into #hardware hacking, this is a really cool #youtube video showing a number of great concepts. It covers a lot of ground, from "what is this chip" all the way to "using an #arduino to read a ROM chip by toggling CLK and CS". The video also includes a bit of binary logic/math and spreadsheet black magic.

Oh yeah, it's all about a bit of kit from the past used to censor video in real time based on the text in the captions...

And that's my #PickOfTheWeek
