2018 Grüner Veltliner 

Atmospheric, easing.  But not easy.  Not something easily dismissed, or passed.  End of day, after my Account Executive life and teaching English online for over two hours… it’s easy.  It’s euphony.  The madness that calms and composes one trying to compose themselves in such a time and conditions set.  Jazz that’s fiery but romantically kept and contained, explaining and singing self in varying rhymes.  Moderate melon, loud lime, some suggestion of pine, cucumber, a friendly and frantic kiwi framing…  I’m on the ground, legs extended, write mode relaxed and listening to what she says… taking me to Austria, some view from a mountain.  Said I took that lift to ski but really all I wanted to do was talk to her, looking at expanses, snow jagged, trees, people around us moving so fast be we rush nothing, especially time with each other.  Then quiet, she goes into new truth.. more vivid bright stretches and pronunciations.
