The Passerina and Pecorino Grapes

Falerio dei Colli Ascolani, like many wines of the Marche, is unique in its use of rare local Italian varietals that are seldom found anywhere else, here the Passerina and Pecorino grape varietals. The blend requires a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 50% Trebbiano Toscano, 10% to 30% Passerina, 10% to 30% Pecorino and up to 20% other white varietals. [1]

gollark: It's currently sitting at "basic features work" (editing, creating, viewing note pages), but more advanced stuff is not implemented because the design is hard to do elegantly.
gollark: It's going slowly because programming is hard and I'm lazy and conflicted on some design aspects.
gollark: Minoteaur (v2.0.0 really early alpha) is a server-rendered webapp using SQLite/Node.js/Express. I briefly experimented with making UI-type stuff run on the client but it was annoying.
gollark: On the one hand that encourages non-stateful backends (using the database and FS for storage and not holding important stuff in RAM), which I do anyway, but on the others it's inefficient and annoying.
gollark: I like Node.js/Express for my random bodging because it's less evil than PHP (especially when type checked), has really great libraries available, and doesn't do the silly (conventional for PHP) "one execution of your script per request" thing.
