Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner is a white variety grown primarily in Austria and almost nowhere else. It does however also grow in a few Eastern European countries, such as Slovakia, Yugoslavia and the Czech Republic, but the variety is mostly associated with Austria, where it has been cultivated since Roman times. The steep, Rhine-like vineyards of the Danube west of Vienna produce very pure, minerally Grüner Veltliners intended for laying down. Down in the plains, citrus and peach flavours are more apparent, with spicy notes of pepper and sometimes tobacco. The better wines from top sites have lower yields and can be astonishingly complex, full of exotic tropical fruits, white pepper and lentils. They can also show aromas of green beans or asparagus, an engaging "vegetable" smell that is seldom "vegetal", especially when grown in mineral soil. In Austria it is still very much the tradition to drink the wine as young as possible, which is somewhat regrettable; and to drink them with food, which is absolutely correct. It has a reputation of being a particularly food-friendly wine. Grüner Veltliner is perhaps the single most versatile food wine in the world, often surpassing even Riesling because of its ability to pair with "difficult" foods.heartland

in retrospect

life for rent

never know

i never know where i should start
to say the words because it rhymes
it has been done too much for me to try
i get up weary and turn around
i never knew we’ve got so right
it feels the same as every time
i’ve come to say that special line
when i sit down to write a poem
i never know what i should say
to speak of you as summer rains
is falling short of ending ride
i get up weary and turn around
i never knew we’ve got so right
it feels the same as every time
i try to say that special line
we get up to walk away
i sometimes doubt if i should go
when i walk out and fly away
i never know when i will return
i get up weary and turn around
i never knew we’ve got so right
it feels the same as every time
i try to say that special line

a great man once said....

- "A man can be destroyed but not defeated..."
- "An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools..."
- "Courage is grace under pressure...."
- "Cowardice... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination..."
- " Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another..."
- "Never confuse movement with action..."
- "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love..."
- "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to simply trust them..."
- "The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without..."
- "In order to write about life, first you must live it..."
- "il faut d'abord durer..." meaning "first one must endure..."

sometimes you cant make it on your own

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I... that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need... I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing,
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
