Recently in the U.S. House of Representatives the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act was re-introduced into the 117th Congress. The EI&CD Act (HR 2307) is not a tax but a fee to be placed on fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas, which account for harmful carbon emissions. The fee starts low and grows over time.

These two grape varieties make up more than one third of all of the wine sold in the US. In fact Cabs have a slight edge on Chardonnay in popularity, as Americans in greater numbers are consuming reds rather than whites. In addition, I must confess that Cabs have been my favorite for many years.
Of course, there is also the “Chardonnay Queen” to be considered. So, here comes another review about a very good Cab, but I will save the description of the steak which went with it.
