New York Wears Pink


In the sharp June light New York forgets the rules and order of old times and wears pink on the streets as a promising way of setting new rules and order.

Anywhere I go I see pink begonias, pink clothes, pink buses, pink buildings, pink trucks and beautiful window displays in pink. With an inspiring sense of dramatic New York chooses pink as a bold, fashionable and personal statement.

The inevitable flurry of pink means two things: while it is a color of the season, it is a new era of acceptance of who we are today.

The Great Rose Infusion of Summer 2019


The history of wine of this summer really began for me on the hot and bright morning I drove with my friends to participate in The Great Rose Infusion of Summer event, which was held on the spectacular grounds of Soda Rock Winery, Healdsburg, Sonoma County.

The setting of the event was breathtaking - the golden shower of sun beating down with affection upon the fields, the spray of old trees, the vineyards, quite and green, and the fashionable crowds of wine lovers. I slowly strolled about the area, where couples and groups were scattered at tables, filling the heat with words of excitement and laughter while enjoying the excellent rose wines.

I was almost surprised with the quality of the wines. The elegance, complexity and balance of the presented rose surprised me the most. This is a New World for rose wines and thinking of it makes me light-headed and happy, because I love rose! I am delighted to see that rose wine is now an exciting and growing category in the wine industry. 


“Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.”
