farmers market fun

My hands are cold! I'm sitting outside the ferry building in SF. There's a farmers market here on Tues. Food is not cheap. I'm enjoying connecting with the people who bring the food to the city. Bought dried pluots and rainer cherries I met a colorfully dressed Israeli woman who is living in San Jose Tasted chocolate covered almond paste-off the hook. The fog is starting to burn off here. I'm going to head back to the E. bay and cruise the other market.

Nice, long blogment(=blog comment) here.

My hands are cold!
So how about scoring a shot of pluot-brandy to warm up the peripherals, whatever pluots are (perot ha'adamama?)

First, in a worldly scheme of things, residence is in the U.S. of A.
In a State of Humor and Ridiculous Confusion over a certain U.S. of A. Senator's '08 bid to be President.

Next, pickles certainly can be appropriately pHassidic from that Williamsburg or Monroe hometz yayin in its pickling juice!
Perhaps some kitniyot shrirut b'dvash or agvaniyot metukot in the salad would possibly pushup the low pH and sourness of other pickled perot ha'adamama perceptually perfecting it??
On adamama's acidut ;-), a series of less pasHut halachic questions based upon
"I'm going to make sure that they are not saying borei pri hagafen over Capri sun lemonade drink or oj." :
What bracha does one say on a non-grape fermented beverage which also contains...
- <10 percent or any barely measurable v/v(=by liquid volume) or even barely tastable grape wine??
- 49 percent or the maximum minority v/v grape wine??
- 51 percent or the bare minimal majority v/v grape wine??
- 67 percent or 2/3 v/v grape wine??
- 75 to 80++ percent v/v grape wine??
In the last 75 to 80++ percent v/v case, would a a best guess be that one should say borei pri hagafen before drinking this?
Is borei pri hagafen still called for even if the <25 percent v/v non-grape-fermented portion of the total is much stronger-tasting (or has much more alcohol in it) than the grape-wine portion??
In any case, one certainly says the bracha of shehakol on Capri sun lemonade drink, oj and fermented beverages which are completely free of any grape products.
One certainly says the bracha of borei pri hagafen on 100 percent grape wine.
