Greetings from Two Hills Vineyard in Glenburn, Victoria, Australia. Today, the year 2010 is coming to an end. As usual it was another busy year, a year which made us mothball our small family vineyard and wait for better times of the Australian wine industry. We are not giving up at this point in time.
Blogging has been fun and a great learning experience. Although my day job does not leave me much time for my food and wine passion, I was able to turn our a few pieces.
To all my friends, readers and followers: thank you very much for supporting me and my blog by your visits, comments and suggestions during the last year.
You folks keep me going; now that I will be entering the fifth year of “my life as a food and wine blogger”.
I wish you and your beloved ones all the best for the festive season at the turn to the new year. May you enjoy life, health and togetherness and, of course, a glass of wine here and there.
I have another poem by Jelalludin Rumi for you.
This We Have Now
This we have now
is not imagination.
This is not
grief or joy.
Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.
Those come
and go.
This is the presence
that doesn’t.
What else could humans want?
When grapes turn to wine,
they’re wanting this.

Happy New Year. Have a good start into 2011.
