September 17 celebrates International Grenache Day by bringing attention to the juicy fruit that allows us to enjoy the sweet yet spicy wine. Initially grown in the gardens of Spain, the grapes are also known as Garnacha. One of the most commonly used varieties, the red Garnacha and Garnacha Blanca, are making a comeback in Spain. This comeback is happening after the grape fell in popularity when other grape varieties, which were also easier to grow and had more yields, became more popular in the market. However, with the establishment of the International Grenache Day, the wine and the grape are slowly and steadily gaining popularity again. Because of its sweet taste with slightly spicy notes, many people also have Grenache as the first-ever wine in their life.
Texas Energy Savings Day
Texas Energy Savings Day is celebrated on September 7. The majority of Texans are overpaying for their electricity, and with so many complicated plans and bills, many Texans don’t even realize it. By staying on top of their energy contracts and learning how to better understand their bill, Texans have the opportunity to reduce their electricity bills—sometimes massively.
