London Calling

June 3rd, 2008

“Londres, sempre gentil comigo, me poupa de chuva e neblina. Sol, ar fresco e até flores pra me receber. Vamos ver se esse bom humor dura durante a semana.”

Foi a anotação de domingo, mas é claro que era bom demais pra ser verdade. A cidade me traiu e meus ossos estão frios e molhados.

“Moreover, he changed the way I tasted, judged, and selected wine. He did not instruct me. I observed him tasting, observed him matching wine to food and food to wine in restaurants, listened to his appreciations as he searched for whatever distinguished each wine. He did not taste with the fixed idea of the “perfect wine” in mind. He valued finesse, balance, personality, and originality. If a wine had something to say, he listened. If a wine was a cliché, he had little interest. If it was different, apart from the rest, he appreciated it more.”

Kermit Lynch, sobre Richard Olney, em Adventures on the Wine Route - a wine buyer’s tour of France.

De volta

April 27th, 2008

20 dias meio loucos,  de 7 às 24 com vinho em mente. 6 dias de Itália, 7 de França e 6 em Londres para a primeira parte (de seis) do Diploma in Wine and Spirits do WSET.

Atolado de trabalho acumulado e com feiras de vinho chovendo em mim, sou forçado a postergar as peripécias européias…

Para adoçar a boca:

Lago di Garda
