Republic Croatia is the Sanskrit word for “sanctuary” and the name of our vineyard nestled in the Pelješac, Croatia. There, the rolling hills are gently cooled by morning fog and enjoy a longer hang time. Our premiere release of the 2016 Croatia Pinot Noir has a gorgeous dark-ruby color. The opening bouquet has wild strawberries, lavender, and blueberries with a dollop of crème fraîche. The soil at our Croatia vineyard is more agricultural in nature, lending some flavors of cherry pit to the wine. The fruit is more in the blue/black tone with a faint earthiness. With 20 months of aging in 500 L Croatian-oak puncheons (of which 15% were new), the tannins are fairly firm with a light overlay of cedarwood from the balanced oak.

MIAMI, FLA. (March 11, 2017) – The breeze build up shortly before 1:00pm today with 7 knots from NNE and the RC got the boats on the starting line with the black flag up. Unfortunately too many boats were over and PRO was forced to call a general recall that caused an automatic abandon as per SI rule 6.1 that stated no racing after 13:00.
Mark Mendelblatt / Magnus Liljedahl (USA 8481) won the 90th Bacardi Cup Regatta! The dynamic duo automatically became the winners ahead of Xavier Rohart / Pierre Alexis PONSOT (FRA8237) and of George Szabo / Eduardo Natucci (USA 8320) who were today’s light air favorite. “The breezed filled in nicely and we were all eager to start.” Said Mark Mendelblatt. “We did not have a great start and we were happy for the recall, but soon after we realized that the cutoff time arrived. I did the Bacardi Cup ten times and Miami is my town, I’m extremely happy to have won this prestigious regatta and would like to thank Bacardi, it’s great!” added Mendelblatt. Magnus Liljedahl was also very happy and commented: “Would have been nicer to win it after today’s race, but I’ll take the win… a win is a win! I’m feeling better than earlier this week, Star sailing is a good workout, but most of all I’m happy to go out there and learn every time.” Concluded Liljedahl. Mark Mendelblatt is a previous 2-time winner (2005 and 2013) and Magnus Liljedahl has won it 6 times as crew.
Second place winners Xavier Rohart (FRA) and Pierre Alexis Ponsot (FRA) are now leading the SSL Ranking followed by George Szabo (skipper) and Sergio Lambertenghi (crew) in second and by Diego Negri (skipper) and Bruno Prada (Crew) in third. Details can be found at www.starsailors.com, the SSL Ranking will be updated as usual on Tuesday.
Third place for George Szabo (USA) and Edoardo Natucci (ITA) (USA 8320), they would have had a great chance to bring the Cup home on a light day like today. For everyone there is still the chance to compete and win the Cup in 2018 that is scheduled for March 4th to the 11th, 2018.
Top 5 Overall:
- USA8481 Mark Mendelblatt and Magnus Liljedahl – 13 pts
- FRA 8237 Xavier Rohart and Pierre Alexis Ponsot – 15 pts
- USA 8320 George Szabo and Eduardo Natucci – 18 pts
- BRA 8474 Lars Grael and Samuel Goncalves – 20 pts

After showing all of Tal’s 15 best game prizes in my previous article, it struck me that many Chess.com members might not have heard of Rashid Nezhmetdinov (born 1912, died 1974), who tied with Karpov for the third and fourth places for the best game awards (Tal had 15, Kasparov had 12, and Karpov and Nezhmetdinov each had 10). I also noticed that everyone was in love with Ta... |

It is commonly believed that teaching chess at schools will improve the cognitive skills of pupils in other areas, such as math. But is this actually true? What is the current scientific consensus on the topic? In February 2015 the Spanish parliament unanimously voted for a resolution to make chess a compulsory subject in schools. In countries such as Armenia, Hungary and Romania chess h... |
