A local London pub that’s been thrust into an unexpected spotlight and onto the tourist map, thanks to musician Taylor Swift. Unexpected fameThe Black Dog pub is in an unassuming residential area of Vauxhall in south London. Taylor Swift fans Jenna Spackey and Maddie Essig came to check out The Black Dog pub after listening to the song. The Black Dog pub says the past few days have been "immense." Hageman compares “The Black Dog” song to a “fable” – it’s probably not based entirely in reality.

As a travel writer, I've been to dozens of all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico, the Maldives, and more.

Washington, DC CNN —First lady Dr. Jill Biden isn’t holding back as her role in her husband’s reelection campaign comes into sharper focus. The first lady is juggling her campaign work with her official role and her full-time teaching job at Northern Virginia Community College. She’s going to go to a variety of areas in this country,” a source familiar with the planning said. Biden campaign advisers believe the first lady’s appeal has far reach – particularly with women and grassroots supporters and in moderate parts of the country. “Here’s the thing about men like Donald Trump - they underestimate our power because they don’t understand it,” she said in Atlanta.

☆ Climate of change brings a new generation of British wine

[1/6] A bottle of cuvee produced by Aston Kirby, 20-year-old winemaker, is seen in Sussex, Britain, July 13,2023. Twenty-year-old Ashton Kirby began working in the Bewl Water Vineyard in rolling countryside in East Sussex, southeast England, when his parents bought it in a neglected state three years ago. He said that warmer British weather as a result of climate change meant the grape variety now produced "fantastic wine", which he described as an English Sauvignon Blanc. Last year, research from the University of Reading highlighted the impact of climate change on Britain's viticulture regions by 2050. WineGB said the British wine industry was expanding at a phenomenal rate, with the area under plantation expected to double by 2032.

☆ ‘The Bear’ and a Chaotic Vision of Work
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-02 | by ( Melissa Kirsch | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

Business leaders are resorting to desperate measures to entice workers back to the office, my colleague Emma Goldberg reported recently. “It’s been three years of scattershot plans for returning to in-person work — summoning people in, not really meaning it, everybody pretty much working wherever they pleased,” she wrote. One idea I haven’t seen floated is to offer screenings of the series “The Bear,” whose second season was released in June on Hulu. When it debuted last year, “The Bear” was praised for its authenticity, for depicting the chaos of a real restaurant kitchen. Hands are burned, fingers slashed; the pace of the prep rush turns the kitchen staff into sweating, shouting bodies, meat cooking meat.” Hardly a convincing argument for in-person work.

The Corcoran Group founder told Bloomberg that she almost never flies first class. "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran said she prefers not to waste money — or miles — upgrading to first class when she travels by plane, and she has some tips to make economy feel like royalty. Her travels typically accumulate hundreds of thousands of miles, and she told Bloomberg she believes they're better spent on family. Instead, she makes an effort to make economy class feel more luxurious by packing some extra amenities of her own to take on the plane. I bring my own delicious food: a couple of cheeses, usually hard salami, and really nice artisan crackers that aren't soggy," Corcoran told Bloomberg.

WHAT WINE is recession-proof, fad-proof and seemingly immune to any bad press it gets? Sancerre, the white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc in the Loire Valley of France, has also been called overexposed, overproduced and overpriced. When restaurateurs price wines higher because they are sure to sell, it’s often called “the Sancerre tax.”

Pinot Blanc is the latter. It’s not Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, the more-popular grapes that a couple of retailers recommended as alternatives when I recently went shopping for the more obscure Pinot Blanc. It’s not Chardonnay, either, though some winemakers treat it as such. Pinot Blanc—aka Pinot Bianco, aka Weissburgunder, aka Klevner, depending on where it’s grown—is commonplace but so underrated it isn’t even mentioned in some of my wine reference books. And yet, judging from my recent Pinot Blanc tasting, the really good examples are worth tracking down.
