TASTING NOTES:
Merlot - “Though unfairly treated for years, Merlot is striding confidently into your home and into your glass, brimming with red fruit, easy tannins and an approachable softness. Beginning with a nose of allspice, hazelnut and vanilla, our Estate Merlot unfolds smoothly into blackberry, elderberry and blueberry flavors, framed by a balanced acidity and lightly toasted wood notes. The full-bodied wine fills the palate with fresh berry pie all the way through the long and engaging finish.” (AbV 14.8%, pH 3.53, TA 6.0 g/L)

Cabernet Sauvignon - “Our 2020 vintage is intense and focused, with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and ripe plum with notes of tarragon and toasty oak. Bold and full-bodied, it is framed by elegant tannins. Lingering notes of black fruit, vanilla and mocha prevail on the finish. While drinking beautifully now, this rich and vibrant Cabernet will age nicely over the next 5-10 years.” (AbV 13.9%, pH 3.73, TA 6.3 g/L)

THAT REMINDS ME OF: The Entscheidungsproblem.

David Hilbert, a famous 19th and 20th century mathematician, posed a problem in 1928 to the international mathematics community: could you devise an algorithm that, when it is given a set of “rules” (axioms) and provided a mathematical conclusion or proposition, will tell you correctly whether that conclusion/proposition is true or false? And it’s gotta do this without fail, for any proposition. The algorithm doesn’t need to show you how it got the answer or prove it to you, just as long as it gives the correct answer. As far as I can tell. I could be butchering it.

Alan Turing, and his mentor Alonzo Church, would answer the problem separately with a definitive “no” about a decade later.
