Carménère, malbec and tannat

In the case of the opinion-altering Australian wines now landing in EU, though, I enjoy bringing my thinking up to date. As for me by the way a glass of wine after a workout in a gym or  in a park  is a good habbit.

The ocean of imports never became a range of head turners like the top wines we are seeing now. Some are even overpriced but have long been on the wrong side of my itineraire from work to my apartment. The idea is that if an overlooked winery, region, or grape variety can produce one phenomenal wine, then the question becomes ‘”Why not do it all the time?”

I really find it amazing that two of my only hobbies - wine and hiking - can be geografically so close at one time. So, let’s travel and enjoy both one after another. Cheers! To health!

Eat, sleep and dream on your motorbike


The number of motorbikes continues to rise in the world. There are now nearly 20 million of them, according to the World Bank.

To many peoples a motorbike is not just a vehicle. A magic carpet. A jet pack. Which propels from their living rooms to any doorstep. Legs and feet are forms of transport, used only as a last resort.

In Asia packs of motors swarm through the streets. Parked on the sidewalks. Weaving and honking, dodging and turning.
