Georgian history in the 16th century is quite intertwined with wine since Tamerlane damn near exterminated us along with the lands suited for winery

idk i just listened to it when doing chores or whatever. but yes it's a good channel to pick up bits of information. i mainly became interested in wine as a way to engage with learning french and used the random buzzwords i remembered hearing from his videos as a starting point for research later.

i just tried reading while listening to him but it didnt work out well, he's just a traditional youtuber. the fact that he talks about something noble-ish made me associate the possibility of him doing asmr-like videos but now fuck eet.

In the Somm docuseries, they heavily relied on Karen McNiel's Wine Bible and recommended Perfect Pairings. There is a Master Sommelier podcast, but when I tried listening it was beyond me. Wine for Normal People podcast is fun, and I believe the sommelier who runs it has also written a book.

Reading using the same parts of the brain as listening, supposedly, so I doubt that would work out well. Try instrumental music.

so if i read while listening to an audiobook of the same book, accompanying the voice through the book, it will be like 2x reading?

>> No.21604177

>>21604159
Who knows? Give it a shot, but it will probably just result in a loss of focus. I suspect you'll either have to tune the voice out in order to read, or will merely be looking along as you're being read to by the speaker.
