Our country’s loneliness epidemic has been brewing for 75 years. It started with suburban development in the 1950s, continued with the proliferation of the television, was exacerbated by the obfuscation of work-life boundaries, and has grown tenfold with rapid technological advancement. Loneliness and feelings of isolation have given way to a more serious crisis: a crisis of belonging. Presently, belonging is trending. It’s all the rage with DEI practitioners and HR consultants.

One of the world’s greatest wine regions produces so little red wine that it can be considered negligible. I refer to Germany, where the riesling grape has near complete dominance and for a good reason: it makes one of the world’s greatest wines. It has established such a reputation that all rieslings in the world are compared to it. Europeans have appreciated German riesling for hundreds of years.

From the end of Prohibition (1933) until Robert Mondavi founded his Napa Valley winery (1966), the wines that most Americans consumed had roughly 18% alcohol and had brandy added to them. Dry table wines almost did not exist in this country.

Those who are old enough might remember when rose was awful. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, most rose wines came from the central San Joaquin Valley in California and from Portugal, often in ceramic bottles. And they were generally made from mediocre grapes using methods that today would be considered antediluvian. Their key feature was sugar. Many were so sweet that I almost gagged on them. Some were being promoted as a perfect all-purpose wine because they would go with either fish or meat.

The leader of Hamas’s negotiating team, Khalil Al-Hayya, said in a televised speech Thursday that it would not agree to more partial deals with Israel, demanding instead a comprehensive one to end the war and swap Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
